The Spanish defender came on as a substitute on his debut for Real Madrid against Celta Vigo…
One of the finest defenders to have ever played for Real Madrid, Sergio Ramos joined the Spanish giants from Sevilla in 2005.
He was the first Spanish player to be signed by the club during their Galacticos era and arguably one of the most successful signings from that period. Ramos made his debut for Real Madrid in the second match of their La Liga campaign against Celta Vigo on September 10, 2005.
The Spaniard came on as a substitute replacing central defender Francisco Pavon in the 46th minute of the match. Real Madrid had lost the tie 3-2 where Ronaldo (Brazil) and Julio Baptista were on target for Los Blancos.
Since 2005, Ramos made 671 appearances in a Real Madrid shirt for the next 15 years and won every trophy including five La Ligas and four Champions League titles.
As Ramos left the club in 2021 for a new venture with PSG, let us take a look at the players who played alongside the defender on his debut.
