Messi labels Ramos as his fiercest rival in El Clasico

Leo Messi has claimed Sergio Ramos was his most intense rival when they both were on the pitch in El Clásico in La Liga.

The 2 had numerous fights when Leo played for the Catalan side and Sergio for Los Blancos as the key defender.

The rivalry settled when the 2 of them shockingly became teammates at PSG 3 years ago.

Lionel revealed on a podcast that the footballer that he fought the most during his career was Sergio Ramos. Messi added that after that, they played together, but during the El Clásico, he was in a constant battle with Real Madrid’s defender through the years.

Sergio has shared in the past that the Argentinian was the best player the game ever produced.

Today, Sevilla revealed that Ramos is leaving the club after 1 campaign with his boyhood team as the defender scored 7 goals in 37 matches for them.
