In Galtier's Hand, Ramos Rises: The Spain Defender Is Aiming For The 2022 World Cup In Qatar

JAKARTA - Sergio Ramos is finally enjoying life at Paris Saint-Germain after months of injury problems.

The Spain international has started all four PSG games so far this season and played a key role in winning the Trophy des Champions over Nantes. He scored the third goal in a 4-0 finish.

Coach Christophe Galtier is delighted to have Ramos alongside Presnel Kimpembe and Marquinhos at the back of his new three-man squad.

It also helped Kylian Mbappe, Neymar and Lionel Messi get off to a great start: four games, four wins, 21 goals and three conceded.

Last season went so badly for Ramos that even that suggested he leave PSG. But all that is now in the past, as he turns criticism into praise.

Apart from starting for Galtier, Ramos has also shown his leadership off the pitch.

Le Parisien reports that the former Real Madrid and La Furia Roja captain was key in easing tensions between Mbappe and Neymar following the 'penaltygate' that rocked the Paris dressing room.

Ramos stepped in to mediate between them before the club took over to settle the controversy between the two stars.

Ramos' appearance has even restored his chances of returning to the Spanish national team.

With just three months before the start of the World Cup in Qatar, the centre-back is not giving up on regaining Luis Enrique's confidence.

The last time Ramos played for La Furia Roja was almost a year and a half ago in a match against Kosovo on 31 March 2021.

In his final season at Real Madrid, Ramos had to deal with a series of injuries that not only prevented him from playing for Los Blancos, but also ruled him out of returning to the national team.
