Ramos’s homecoming adds a captivating narrative, both on and off the pitch. It will be intriguing to witness how the Sevillista faithful embrace his return, considering the numerous clashes and heated moments he experienced with Sevilla players and fans during his 16-year tenure at Real Madrid.
One memorable incident saw Ramos defiantly celebrating a brace for Real Madrid at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, Sevilla’s home ground, despite enduring insults and projectiles hurled in his direction.
Ramos, who had initially risen through Sevilla’s ranks and notably progressed from their U19 squad, left an indelible mark with the senior team. at the age of 18, he joined Real Madrid after featuring in 48 matches, primarily as a right-back.

Sergio Ramos, brimming with emotion and excitement, embarked on a new chapter with Sevilla. As he landed in the city to finalize his contract, reporters seized the opportunity to pose a few questions to the veteran defender.
Ramos’s motivation for this return was deeply personal, and he shared, “It goes for my father, my grandfather, and Antonio Puerta.” This poignant dedication was a tribute to his father and grandfather, both ardent supporters of the club, and to Antonio Puerta, who had spent 14 years alongside Ramos in Sevilla’s youth ranks.
Antonio Puerta, a cherished figure in the Sevilla community, met a tragic end at the age of 22. He suffered a fatal cardiac arrest during Sevilla’s opening La Liga match of the 2007/08 season against Getafe.

In an unveiling video, Ramos humbly addressed past conflict with Sevilla fans during his time at Real Madrid, “It’s been 18 years since I left; I believe I made some mistakes, and I would like to take this opportunity to personally apologize and seek forgiveness from any Sevilla fan who may have been hurt by my actions and gestures at the time.”
Now at the age of 37, Ramos finds himself in the twilight of his illustrious career. His mission with Sevilla extends beyond personal redemption; after a lackluster 12th-place finish last season, he aims to bolster the team’s league performance.
Furthermore, Ramos assumes the role of a crucial leader as Sevilla sets its sights on navigating the Champions League group stage, a feat they secured by winning the Europa League in the previous season.
