Sergio Ramos is capable of taking a hit, but he will always have a response. He made this clear in a recent interview at the World Cup, when he decided to attack Diego Maradona and compare him to Lionel Messi.
After Spain's first victory last Wednesday, Sergio Ramos decided to give a few minutes to the press. He talked about the match and his team's chances of progressing to the Round of 16 of Russia 2018, but he also took the opportunity to send a message to his detractors.
"I respect Maradona because he is great. I think he is a genius, but I also tell you that the Argentine football knows that Maradona is light years away from the number one, which is Messi," said the Spanish captain.
These statements come after Maradona made harsh comments about him. "When it comes to talking about geniuses, they told me the other day that Sergio Ramos is a genius. I don't want to argue, but I have to say it. No, the genius is Godín," declared the former Argentine player.
Despite the rivalries, Sergio Ramos remains calm. Especially because Spain is currently leading Group B of the World Cup along with Portugal. Their ticket to the next round is still uncertain, but they are clear favorites.
