The Spanish football icon, aged 35, became emotional during a press conference when he revealed his goodbye to Real Madrid.

Sergio Ramos is well-known for his extensive collection of tattoos. The Spain football legend proudly displays over 40 tattoos, each with its own special significance. One emotional moment was when he admitted, “I would have liked to have said goodbye at the Bernabeu. You are never really prepared for this day, it’s the most difficult of my career.”

There is speculation that Manchester United and PSG are interested in signing Ramos now that he is available. As Ramos embarks on the next phase of his career, fans can expect him to mark the occasion with a new tattoo. Throughout his impressive career, Ramos has accumulated both trophies and tattoos. Some of his most prominent tattoos include a set of numbers on his knuckles, such as 35, +90, 32, and 19, each holding a special meaning close to the tough defender’s heart.

Numbers of significance, including squad numbers and a goal scored in the 2014 Champions League final, are tattooed on Ramos’ knuckles.

The rose tattoo with the date is a tribute to his son Marco’s birth, while the +90 represents his crucial injury-time goal in the 2014 Champions League final against Atletico Madrid. The other squad numbers inked on his body are a reflection of his football journey through the years. Above the rose is the number 4, symbolizing his son’s birth date on November 14, 2015.

As a four-time Champions League winner, it’s no surprise that Ramos would commemorate his victories. On his left calf, he has a tattoo celebrating Real Madrid’s trophy wins, with the locations of his triumphs inscribed: LISBON 2014, MILANO 2016, CARDIFF 2017, and KIEV 2018. On the back of his right calf, he proudly displays a tattoo of the World Cup, which he won in 2010.
