What Sergio Ramos said after becoming Spain’s most capped player

Real Madrid and Spain captain, Sergio
Ramos’ has said he would rather have traded his 168th cap for a victory in Euro 2020 Group F qualifier against Norway on Saturday.

Spain drew 1-1 against Norway in a match that made Ramos his country’s record appearance maker, surpassing goalkeeper Iker Casillas.

The outcome of the match ruined Spain’s 100% record in Group F.

“All record that is personal is a little secondary,” said Ramos after the game.

“I would have happily traded this 168th cap for a victory. It was not the case. But this record is a great reward after so many years and it’s a great source of huge pride.

“I am emotional every time I put on this shirt. That will not change and I hope to continue doing so for many years.”
