Sergio Ramos García (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈserxjo ˈramoz ɣarˈθi.a]; born 30 March 1986) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for and captains both, Real Madrid and the Spain national football team. A central defender, he can also play as a right back.

After emerging through Sevilla's youth academy, Ramos went on to become a mainstay for Real Madrid where he has won 13 major honours and developed into one of La Liga's top scorers from a defensive position.

Internationally, Ramos represented the Spanish national team at three World Cups and three European Championships, winning the former tournament in 2010 and the latter in 2008 and 2012. He made his first appearance at the age of 18 and, in 2013, he became the nation's youngest player to ever reach 100 caps.

Born in Camas, Seville, Andalusia, Ramos began his career at local side Sevilla FC, emerging through the club's youth system alongside Jesús Navas and Antonio Puerta. He made his first-team – and La Liga – debut on 1 February 2004, coming on as a 64th-minute substitute for Francisco Gallardo in a 0–1 away loss against Deportivo de La Coruña.
