Sergio Ramos, just another Real Madrid fan
The former captain watched from the stands as Real Madrid beat Benfica to secure a place in Friday’s Round of 16 draw.
Sergio Ramos looked perfectly at home last night at the Santiago Bernabéu. The former Real Madrid captain watched the matchup between Los Blancos and Benfica from a private suite, and his presence didn’t go unnoticed.
For fans, seeing him back in the stadium instantly rekindled the emotional bond he built during his legendary run with the club—a connection he has proudly defended over the years and one that clearly remains intact despite his 2021 departure.
The Andalusian defender took in the game alongside close friends, appearing relaxed as he soaked in the atmosphere of a stadium that gave him so many unforgettable nights.

His visit also comes at a particularly interesting moment in his personal life: Ramos is currently involved in the complex process of potentially purchasing Sevilla, the club where he began his career. If the deal goes through, he could become a major figure in shaping Sevilla’s future. Still, his appearance at the Bernabéu was a reminder that his relationship with Real Madrid runs deep—emotionally and historically.
As that business process moves forward, Ramos continues to maintain a warm connection with Madrid fans, who welcomed him back with genuine affection. The Bernabéu—home to some of the most iconic moments of his career—once again became the backdrop for the enduring bond between the player and a fanbase that hasn’t forgotten his legacy.
