Since 2021, world and double European champion Sergio Ramos (36) has been lacing his shoes with the French series champion Paris St. Germain after 16 years at Real Madrid. Since then, the Spanish defensive edge has experienced ups and downs in the fall of his football career.
In an interview with the Spanish “AS” before PSG’s round of 16 cracker in the Champions League against Bayern (0: 1), Ramos made a surprising confession about his Paris move.
There, the Real legend not only talks about the upcoming cracker game, but also about the fact that he doubted whether the move to PSG was right!
Ramos: “Of course it was a very big change to leave Real Madrid. My goal is always to keep winning. I’ve won a lot with Real Madrid but I thought it would be a good opportunity for a change of scenery. In the beginning everything was very difficult.”
Then he confesses: “You start to doubt whether you did the right thing or not. I was injured, it was very difficult for me to recover and adapt to the new system, the new team and the new coach.”
So does he regret his move to Paris St. Germain afterwards?

No! In the “AS” interview, Ramos emphasizes that he has now arrived safely in Paris and feels comfortable in his new football home.
“What I can say is I’m where I want to be and at a club with such a big desire to win the Champions League. And I want to make the best of what’s left of my playing career,” continued Ramos, who played an incredible 671 times for Real Madrid. With Real he has already won the premier class four times, with PSG he has only reached the round of 16 in the Champions League so far.
Ramos not only talks about his difficult time at PSG at the beginning, but also about the current sporting misery at the French champions. The Parisians around world stars Lionel Messi (35), Kylian Mbappé (23) and Neymar (31) have already lost four games in 2023, including the top club, spoiled by success, in the French Cup in the prestige duel against Marseille (1: 2 ) out of.
“We have a lot of stars, some of the best players in the world. When a team wins, it’s because they’ve gotten past their personal ego. The goal this season is for us all to come together, achieve better versions of ourselves and stay balanced as a team. That’s more important than any star we might have,” said Ramos in a forgiving manner about the current downturn in sport.
