Madrid faces the match against Inter with an invisible obstacle. The loss of Sergio Ramos. The Madrid team was recently suffocated by Champions League matches where they did not have Letti’s Without Ramos, Madrid is less Madrid. A ship adrift without its captain. Ramos, who is the eighth most capped player in the competition’s history with 126 games, has only lost 33 games since joining Real Madrid 15 years ago. But in recent times his absences are noticeable more than ever. In 7 of the last 8 games in which the central defender has been absent (four due to suspension, one due to injury and three due to technical decision), the Whites have lost defeats.
The winning streak began against Juventus in the quarter-finals of the Decimotercera championship, in April 2018. In the first leg he sees the third yellow, but Real leaves Turin with a comfortable 0-3 and Cristiano’s Chilean for posterity. But when they returned to the Bernábeu they had to suffer. The bianconeri equalized the draw and a penalty converted by Cristiano in addition prevents extra time and saves the furniture.
The eliminations of Real Madrid in the last two Champions League have coincided with the absences of the captain due to suspension. In March 2019 he was unable to play the second round against Ajax because in the first leg, which ended with a 1-2 in favor of the team then coached by Solari, he forced the Giallorossi to pass clearly to the quarter-finals. He couldn’t play them in any way, because the Dutchman overturned the draw with a historic comeback (1-4) at the Bernabéu.

The rogue attempt cost him a second penalty match which he had to serve in the first match of last season against PSG. Real fell 3-0 at Parque de los Príncipes. The Champions League ended as it was, without a captain and with a 2-1 defeat at Manchester City, who had won five and a half months earlier at the Bernabéu where Ramos had already been sent off with 1-2 on the scoreboard.
Three games were lost by technical decision. The two of the group stage against CSKA two seasons ago. In the first, Lopetegui gave him rest and did not take him to Moscow and in the second, with nothing at stake, Solari reserved him. The only recent precedent for a win without Ramos was in Bruges (1-3) last season, in a match in which there were not even the Whites.
