Foreign football Saturday helped Sergio Ramos la Furia Roja to a first victory on the road to the european CHAMPIONSHIPS next year. In Norway, he picked up deep in the second half with a Panenka-penalty. Hertha BSC-keeper Rune Jarstein tuinde in, and so put Ramos the 1-2 position on the board.

With the team credentials and stay up knew the captain of Spain and Real for the fifth international in a row to score. If he is there tonight on the field of Malta a sixth consecutive goal in, equals he the record Pirri, Fernando Hierro and David Silva share.

That in itself is already a punishment, but as you continue counting, you come to the conclusion that Ramos was this season’s total to 16 goals. Five for Spain, and eleven for Real. In so doing, he is better than some of the renowned strikers such as Diego Costa (4), Alexandre Lacazette (14), Jamie vardy granted (12), Thomas Müller (7), Paulo Dybala (10) and Marcus Rashford (15). Even Real team-mate Gareth Bale and Inter-spearhead Mauro Icardi are currently ‘but’ on the same level with Ramos.

Another remarkable fact: in the current Spanish selection, nobody has more the nets ball than Ramos. With 18 interlanddoelpunten it also does better here than strikers Alvaro Morata (13) and Rodrigo (5). The record of David Villa is set with 59 pieces still far away, but if Ramos was still there three know, is he really the top ten within the topscorerslijst of the Spaniards. Even legends like Julio Salinas (22), Alfredo Di Stefano (23), Emilio Butragueño (26) and Fernando Morientes (27) are not outside shot for Ramos.
