When the 35-year-old Spain star told the press that he was leaving Real Madrid, he broke down in tears.
“I would have liked to say goodbye at the Bernabeu,” he said with tears in his eyes.
“You are never really prepared for this day, it’s the most difficult of my career.”
The news is said to have let Manchester United and PSG know that Ramos is available.
The defender is likely to get a new tattoo to mark the start of the next part of his career.
Ramos has gotten as many tattoos as prizes over the years. Here are some of his most famous quotes and what they mean.
THE NUMBERS GAME
There are some numbers that are very important to Ramos that are on the knuckles of his left hand.
There are written 35, +90, 32, and 19 on it, and each one means something different.
The +90 means that he scored in extra time in the 2014 Champions League final against Atletico Madrid.
The other numbers are squad numbers he’s worn over the years.
And the rose above it has the number 4 on it. The number 14.11.2015 is a reference to the day his son Marco was born.
WINNER OF THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
There was no doubt that Ramos, who has won the Champions League four times, would mark the event.
Real Madrid won the prize, so he has a tattoo on his left calf to remind him of that.
A list of the places where the king has won is written below his card. They are: LISBON 2014, MILANO 2016, CARDIFF 2017, and KIEV 2018.
He also has the World Cup on the back of his right leg, which he won in 2010.
MUM’S THE WORD
He has written the name “Paqui” on the outside of his left hand.
That’s his mom’s name, and it’s the most powerful way to honour the woman who raised him.
He does, however, have the last name “Rubio,” which is the name of his wife Pilar Rubio and his father’s nickname.
NECK SCRUFF
Ramos has a tattoo of a heart being stabbed by a sword with wings on the back of his neck.
The saying “A Lion Never Loses Over The Opinion Of The Sheep” is written below.
It’s a nod to the way he plays and the aggressive side that has made people dislike Ramos over the years.
DREAM CATCHER
Ramos has a dream catcher on the middle of his back. It has his letters and a crown on top of them.
It comes with a quote as well. “Only Those Who Went Hungry With Me And Stood By Me Will Eat At My Table,” it says.
Folks believe that a dream catcher can keep bad dreams away and bring good luck.
THE REAL GOSPEL
Ramos has a lot of cross tattoos on his body.
All of them are sacred symbols for him. He is a devout Catholic, and it shows in the tattoos he has.
“I consider myself to be a believer, and I come from a Christian family, one that always had that belief,” he said.
“And at the end of the day, it’s about where you’re brought up and the way you take on all that’s around you, so I consider myself religious.”
STARVING LIKE A WOLF
A lot of people say that a dog, cat, or even a bird is their favourite animal.
This time, not Sergio Ramos. Because it is brave and fierce, the wolf is his animal.
There is a Chinese character behind his left ear that means “Wolf.”
“I’LL NEVER FORGET YOU”
Sergio really likes the Lord of the Rings pictures and books.
‘JM VII P’ is tattooed on the inside of his left wrist. Ramos thinks that the number VII, which is seven, is his lucky number. JM stands for Jose Marie, and P stands for his parents, Paqui.
A white dove, which stands for peace, is also thrown on there.
‘I Will Never Forget You’ is written in Elvish, like in The Lord of the Rings, which is a clever touch.
FACE YOU KNOW
On his left arm, he has tattoos of a woman and a girl.
There is a line inked across the face that says “Amor a mi Familia,” which means “Love to my family.”
The faces are of his sister Miriam and mother Paqui.
BIRTHDAY LOVE
The words “In The Memory Of The Ones Alive” are tattooed on Ramos’ left arm, along with the numbers 3 and XI.
The World Cup winner has another tattoo that means family to him.
His brother’s birthday is on the 11th and his sister’s birthday is on the 3rd. I hope he remembers the months.
GETTING BACK TO YOU
Ramos’ back has by far the most tattoos on it.
There is a tattoo of the Immaculate Heart of Mary on the left side of his lower back. It looks like a heart with a flame over it that is crossed by eight swords.
