JAKARTA - Sergio Ramos will face an emotional match in the round of 16 of the 2021 Champions League. The reason is that the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) defender will meet his former team, Real Madrid.

Although he will face a former club he has played for for a long time, Ramos will appear professional. For the sake of his current club, Ramos even said he was willing to die defending PSG.

"People's fates change. I actually want to meet other teams. You know how much I love Real Madrid," Ramos said as quoted by Marca, Tuesday, December 14.

"But now I'm defending PSG and I will do everything for PSG to qualify. PSG is a team that relies on me. I'm willing to die for PSG," said Ramos.

Ramos devoted himself to Madrid for 16 seasons and has made 671 appearances and lifted 22 trophies. While based at the Santiago Bernabeu, Ramos has lifted the Champions League trophy four times, of which three were won when he was captain.

Unfortunately, all the sweet memories will try to be forgotten by the defender, because in the transfer market last summer his relationship with Los Blancos ended. The 35-year-old footballer was released by the club and chose to join PSG.

The beginning of his career at PSG did not go smoothly. Ramos was rested for a long time due to injury.

Ramos even appeared once when PSG faced Saint-Etienne in the continuation of Ligue 1, last November 28. Even so, he will still try to look professional for the club he is defending.

"It's difficult, unlike anything I've experienced in my career. I've always respected injuries," said Ramos.

"Feeling like a player again is important. Long hours in the dark, lonely. But it helps me to cope with the pressure. After this, I will fight fully for the team that I play for."
