His last season, his first with Paris Saint Germain, was quite disappointing, amid chronic injuries and lack of fitness. But his previous years at Real Madrid had made Sergio Ramos one of the most iconic, decisive and successful defenders in recent football history. However, not to the point of competing for the Ballon d'Or, an award in which he only managed sixth place in 2017. Perhaps this is why the player born in '86, in the summer of 2020, went as far as wanted "a little help" from the president of the Spanish Football Federation, Luis Rubiales, as sensationally revealed by some audio that El Confidencial will publish on Friday.

In view of the 2020 Ballon d'Or competition, which was ultimately not scheduled due to the Covid pandemic, Sergio Ramos had the brilliant idea to send voice messages to the number one of the Spanish Football Federation Rubiales, to openly ask for his support to him: "Rubi, good evening, I hope you are well with the whole family", the defender starts politely. Which then comes to the point: "You know I've never asked you for anything, but if I want to do it today, it's because I think it's a special year for the performances I've had this year. I would like you to help me in any way possible and use your contacts at UEFA regarding the Ballon d'Or."

In the messages sent to Rubiales, Sergio Ramos tried to defend his cause by noting the fact that his eventual victory would be a source of pride for all of Spain: “I would thank you for my whole life. Not only for me, but also because I think that Spanish football deserves it." According to what was revealed, Rubiales responded that he certainly deserved the award, wishing him luck for the upcoming Champions League season and adding that despite not having decision-making power for the job, he would help him in any way possible. .

An embarrassing request, for which all the details will be revealed in the coming days. Of course a winner of the caliber of Sergio Ramos does not fare very well.
