The goodbye of Sergio Ramos after two years of ups and downs in Paris: "I will face new challenges"
Paris Saint-Germain has announced that Sergio Ramos will not continue at the Parc des Princes next season. This goodbye was confirmed by the footballer himself, who was ending his contract on June 30 and who has not yet wanted to clear his immediate future. “I will face new challenges, I will wear other colors,” the 37-year-old former captain of the Spanish team limited himself to announcing.
“Tomorrow will be a special day. I don't know how many places you can feel at home, but without a doubt, PSG, its fans and Paris have been one of them for me.. Thank you for two special years in which I have been able to play all the tournaments and give my best level,” Ramos said in his statement.
The capital club, for its part, recalls that, after his arrival on July 8, 2021, the central veteran “has brought experience, discipline and a competitive spirit, driven by a sense of sacrifice and the hunger to win everything”.. In 57 games he scored five goals for PSG, including his first on January 23, 2022 in the league against Reims. From November 28, 2021 to January 1, 2023, he remained undefeated and went 34 games without defeat.
“Immense Gratitude”
PSG is delighted to have seen Sergio Ramos defend his colors with such determination, and sincerely wishes him the best for the rest of his career.
For his part, President Nasser Al-Khelaifi has expressed his “immense gratitude” to the player “for the two years he has spent with us.”. “Sergio's leadership, team spirit and professionalism, combined with his experience at the highest level, make him a true football legend, and it has been an honor to have him in Paris.. Everyone at the club wishes him the best,” added the Qatari prince.
Ramos leaves Paris after two irregular seasons, in which he was able to add at least two Ligue 1 titles and a French Super Cup. The first campaign was marked by the injury that he was carrying in the left soleus and that had already precipitated his departure from Real Madrid and the Spanish team. These repeated muscular discomforts, also transferred to the calf, made him miss 33 commitments.
This course, Ramos's performance clearly improved, both in Ligue 1 and in the Champions League, where he did not miss a single minute of the eight games played, closed with the resounding elimination in the round of 16 against Bayern.
Born in Camas, Ramos trained at Sevilla and then joined the ranks of Real Madrid, where he played 16 seasons. Considered one of the best defenders in the world, he has scored 101 goals in 671 games in all competitions.. He was captain of Real Madrid between 2015 and 2021 and one of the pillars of the four Champions League titles (2014, 2016-2018) and five Leagues (2007, 2008, 2012, 2017 and 2020) for the whites. With the Spanish team, he won two European Championships (2008, 2012) and the 2010 World Cup.
Today Saturday (9:00 p.m.), they will play their last game against Clermont. A night where the Parisian fans will celebrate the league title, conquered with some trouble more than expected against Lens, and will fire Leo Messi, whose departure was confirmed on Thursday by coach Christophe Galtier.
