Sergio Ramos body transformation over the years

Sergio Ramos was signed as a right-back from Sevilla in 2005 and did not feature in the heart of defence until 2009 when Pepe was forced out of the squad due to an injury. Since then, the Sergio Ramos body transformation has been nothing short of incredible, becoming a source of inspiration for young footballers. The Spaniard, while speaking to UEFA, shed light on his body transformation. 

Sergio Ramos asserted that he gets up every day with the firm determination to keep improving, although he does not look for recognition on the field. Instead, he wants to improve himself every season, irrespective of the accolades that he has won in the past; individually or collectively. He claimed that he will continue playing football as long as his body permits him to.
