Sergio Ramos (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - The Feeling - full transcript

To me, it is an honor to wear
my country's jersey.

Sergio Ramos! What a display!

To represent it at major events,
World Cups, Euros.

My first call

was my opportunity to show the world
what I had in me,

the eagerness to win.

I still have that today.

But my family is my priority.

My family comes before everything else.

THE LEGEND OF
SERGIO RAMOS

EMOTION



Hello, and good evening.

Welcome to a new challenge...

...building an exciting project
to get back to the top.

Nine months later, we start this stage off
with the UEFA Nations League.

August 31st, the pre-match meeting.
The players will rest for one single day.

At the end of the season,
I had a week off.

Seven days doing nothing,

with my family, my kids,
what my body needed.

SEARCHING FOR WILSON

NUMBER ONE!

After one week,
I had to start doing something.

I had already worked out a schedule
with Berni, my trainer since the start,

and at a personal level,
I know my habits, my customs.

Benzema dribbles. Hazard is all alone,
passes it to Ramos, goal.



Goal! Goal!

We emerged from a season
which was prolonged until mid-August.

This was unorthodox, we needed to rest.

On the other hand,
he couldn't lose his form.

He had two matches with the national team.

Championship games.

We estimated the time he could rest
without losing his fitness,

and then resume his work after that,
within the context of his vacation.

I started training at the gym, did cardio,

and the last week
before joining the national team,

I focused more on running uphill,

worked on my heart,
my stamina, to get back

into that kind of work
that is similar to what you do in a game.

Hello.

- Hi, hi, hi. Hey!
- Hey!

I had never spent
so much time without working.

In March I was told,
"No, you must go home.

"You're in a high-risk group,
you're pregnant."

From March until September. Six months
without working. Never before in my life.

I felt weird. At least I was with my baby,

I knew it was what I wanted
and what I had to do.

I'm happy to go back to work.

I organize
my professional life using the phone.

I talk to Sebas and Garbiñe,
there are always projects to talk about,

and then we usually have a meeting
every ten to 15 days.

We're excited, we have many things.

But we're going to tell you about a few.

Sometimes you're no longer capable

of controlling your professional life.

There are a lot of open fields,
a lot of negotiations.

Really, your credibility is worth
more than anything,

and your values, with the brand values,
will strengthen both parties.

My guide has always been Garbiñe Abasolo.

She's my agent, my friend,
and she has always looked out for me

and worked
so that everything I do is done right.

Surprise, surprise.

Oh, the bathing suits!

- Nice!
- Yes, yes, yes.

So this would be like a pantsuit,
only it's a swimsuit.

This would go like this.
And this strip just hangs down.

- Beautiful.
- That's sexy.

You wanted something for the beach
but also a dinner outfit, with jeans.

The photo shoot will be
in a month and a half.

- What?
- Otherwise,

there's no time to do the catalog and...

- But I just gave birth.
- Yes, yes, yes.

It's not the best time
for the photo shoot.

You're selling swimsuits
that you've designed

and they must look good on you.

So, I'm more or less toned up,
but because I'm such a perfectionist,

I would like to wait
a couple of months to look a lot better,

but the photo shoot has to be done
two months after giving birth.

What are you gonna do?

The shoot will take a day or two.

Anything far from Madrid,
I like to sleep in my house.

Before I became a mother, I used to say,

"The farthest and the longest I travel,
the better."

I loved going here and there all the time.

But now it's, "Okay, hang on,
I want to see my kids every day."

- What else?
- When is El hormiguero back on TV?

- Next week.
- Holy cow.

When I'm rehearsing,
my mom can look after the baby, or...

Then I can stop. That's how I imagine it.

- I've worked with you like that.
- So...

And then we'll see, but...

Now and forever,
motherhood is my priority,

taking care of my children and my family.

Taking this into consideration,
we'll build anything we can,

and we'll accommodate my career
to my personal life.

Come on, Ale, everyone to their seats.
There, come on, champ.

I want bread. I want bread!

- You want bread?
- I want bread.

- Here.
- Big.

Alejandro is just like his father.
He's so stubborn!

His attitude is,
"No, this needs to be this way

"because I say so."

- The chicken!
- Oh, what's Ale going to eat?

That!

Not that, those are chia seeds.
Daddy adds this to his salad.

- I want.
- You want chia seeds?

- Yes, I want.
- But you don't like them.

Try one. Try one.

No... With the chicken? Okay.

Very good, my boy.

- Eat your dinner.
- Marco.

- You...
- I don't want the soup.

- The soup first.
- What did I tell you?

She always says,
"Scold him, say something,

"I say the bad stuff,

"Daddy always comes and kisses him,
hugs him

"and it's like... I'm always the bad one."

On the other hand,
it's true that when I raise my voice

the kids will freeze right away.
"Something's happening."

But we both try
to balance things out a little.

If I make a decision,
Sergio will respect it,

or I'll respect his.

Later, when the kids aren't there,
we discuss that decision,

but in front of the kids
we need to be on the same page.

I'll count to three.
One, two, three. Open.

Marco. Sergio is going to have a bath
as soon as he's done.

Did you wink at me?

You always need to be sensitive, tactful.

You also need to be a little flexible.

Mommy, did you know
that one of the fish is pregnant?

- What?
- Really?

- Just like Mommy.
- Mommy is always pregnant.

Yes, but...

- Yummy?
- The next baby won't come soon, right?

- Do you want more?
- I do.

No, it's enough.

- No! No.
- No.

Do you want another baby?

- Another...
- No, no, no!

I want babies until we get a sister.

I want us to be seven!

I struggle with the traveling.

I miss them very much
when I join the national team,

because we leave for about a week
or ten days every two or three months.

It's hard. But when I'm there
and I put on Spain's jersey

and the captain's armband, it's worth it.

...in the dressing rooms.
Do we have the details of the squad?

SOCCER FEDERATION

Out of 24 players,
seven new have been called up by the team.

It's like a generational replacement.

PRE-MATCH MEETING

Luis Enrique has brought down the age.

Despite my age, I feel very young.

I always have the mentality
of a 15 or 20 year-old.

It's my way of maintaining my balance

with the new young kids
coming to the team.

Many of them are young players
who are excited and ambitious,

and still lacking
a lot of experience in this kind of games.

So the atmosphere is a healthy one.

- Come on!
- Goal!

For me, as the veteran, the grandpa
of the national team, it feels good.

We can act naturally, we're all excited,

we have this positive atmosphere
that you can get with your friends.

We need a bit of everything.
Experienced and young players with drive.

We've formed a young team
that knows exactly what it wants.

With stamina, with heart, with drive.

You either have that or you don't.
You can't train that.

The young ones want to prove
why they're here,

that they're already stars.

Goal!

No, let's see if Pilar is available, too.

In El hormiguero,
we have very good writers,

they come up with new ideas,

and this was one of them.
Doing a new challenge every week.

- Let's see your expression...
- Okay.

-"Look what we've got for you."
- No, we have super simple stuff.

My comrades-in-arms are El Perla and Dani.

El Perla takes care
of all the props and editing,

Dani is the production guy
who arranges everything.

I also work with Juan del Val, who has

a privileged mind
and comes up with the ideas.

- Can you turn into a parking spot?
- That's scary, I don't drive fast...

The challenge is safe,
but it's complicated.

- However, it's spectacular.
- Okay. The set isn't so big.

I have to brake before I hit the wall.

But what if I do hit the wall?
I might. I mean, I'm scared.

Don't worry, nothing will happen to you.

But it's a bit
of a bigger step than last year.

Let go of the gas pedal,
use the handbrake, make a hard turn.

When the car does the turn,

you release the handbrake,
let the car spin, you turn the other way,

switch to the reverse gear and park.

- Okay.
- Come on, hit it.

Full gas.

Handbrake. Release it.

You need more speed.

I park it back there.

A little bit more speed, Pilar, floor it.

Okay, this is intense.

I have negative thoughts,
like, "I'm not going to make it.

"This is impossible."
And I get a little bit nervous.

Come on. Floor it, floor it, floor it.
Hit it. Slide.

Turn, let go. There.
A little bit more speed.

I'm driving too fast.

No. But you can't do this
on your first day.

After 20 years it's still hard.
If you do it, I'm gone.

It just can't be.

You need the perfect balance
between fear and thoughtlessness.

Floor it. Stop.

Release it.

- Yes!
- When you succeed, it's not by chance.

It's a result of hard work, of patience,
which she has and I do not.

She is very persistent.

Coaches always say
that it's difficult to get to the top,

but the hardest part is
to stay there for many years.

You're always reminded of that.
It's a matter of discipline.

Since Sergio started playing
for the junior national team,

at 14 or 15, he made it into
the starting lineup, no one took it away.

He advanced until he made his debut
with the senior team.

He was 18 years old.

JOSÉ MARÍA FATHER

Back then, he was the youngest player
to be called up by a national team.

I was playing for Sevilla with Caparrós,

Luis Aragonés called me up
for the senior team,

with all the heroes...
Iker, Raúl, Míchel Salgado.

The war veterans that we've cheered
on every Euros and World Cup.

And I remember that I went home
and I ran to tell my mom about it.

She almost cried with joy.

It was a friendly match in Salamanca,
against China.

It will be the debut
of Sergio Ramos García with the team.

INTERNATIONAL CAPS: 1

The player was born in Seville.

Don Luis said to me,
"You're here on your own merit.

"Be proud, enjoy,
and play the way you do for your team,

"because that's what got you here.
Don't be afraid of anything.

"You have a strong personality.

"Forget everything else and play soccer,
that's what you do best."

He used to call him "little one."

He was Sevillian through and through.

He was special. Typical Luis.

Luis was a wise man. He helped me a lot.

I will always be grateful to him.

I learned from Luis Aragonés
every single day.

We called him "The Wise Man,"
because it suited him perfectly.

He had a thousand anecdotes to tell you.

They weren't tales or myths.
They were his experiences,

and, eventually, assimilating these things
helps you grow and better yourself.

He was with me and with Torres,
always looking out for us younger players,

so that we would progress
just like a veteran,

knowing who we were going to face,
with personality, not fearing the rival.

Using feints and tricks.
He always used all that.

He would tell me, "Little one,
when you go up for a corner kick,

"tell the one marking you
that he's an ace.

"Call him by his name.

"He'll get cocky, he'll relax and think,
'Hey, this kid knows me, he respects me,'

"and bam, you score the goal.
And then you flip him off."

Get there! Come on, that's it!

He always was a player and then a coach
with character, who did things head-on,

who would always speak his mind.

Sergio is an excellent person,
sometimes he does things he shouldn't do.

That's what we were talking about.

To let him know that there are areas
in soccer he shouldn't go into.

We had a problem
and he talked to the press.

I didn't appreciate that very much.

I talked to him,
he apologized to me and then he said,

"I did that on purpose,
so that you would learn.

"I wanted you to show your personality,
to come and talk to me."

So you think,
"Damn, after getting me all worked up."

That sort of thing helped me grow,

it helped me develop my personality
a bit more.

All I can say of Luis
are wonderful things.

Sergio is an excellent person,
an excellent professional.

I'm sure that he will stay on the path.

And Luis Aragonés

was the person who decided
to leave out players

who played for many years for Spain.
He put his faith on younger players

who were less experienced
but perhaps fresher.

You think,
"The coach is putting his faith in us.

"We must prove ourselves,
we can't let him down."

And it's a responsibility.

And that's when
the new national team was forged.

We played really well
and were eliminated by a fantastic France.

GERMANY WORLD CUP 2006

ROUND OF 16

SPAIN VS FRANCE

I broke out in tears after the match,
and Zizou came up to me,

I asked him for his jersey
and we swapped jerseys.

He has a really big heart.

ZINEDINE ZIDANE
REAL MADRID COACH

We all know the player, and...

I'm talking about his personality,
the heart he has.

He told me, "You're still young.
You'll win the World Cup and the Euros."

And he was not mistaken.

Luis Aragonés knew how to fit
all those players in the same block.

IKER CASILLAS
TEAMMATE ON SPANISH NATIONAL TEAM

Many of us came from different teams.

There were many players from Barça,
we had a foundation and a philosophy.

They always kept the ball

and we were able to move
the national team a bit closer

to Barcelona's playing style.

We wanted to win
the European Championship.

With all due respect
to all the other nations,

but feeling proud
and determined that we wanted to win it.

We all were part of something beautiful
that captivated the world of soccer,

especially our country.

The Spanish national team arrives.

AUSTRIA-SWITZERLAND CHAMPIONSHIP

QUARTERFINALS

SPAIN VS ITALY

It's Spain's turn.

It's over.
Penalties, penalties, penalties.

There was a historical sort of barrier.

It's not that we failed,
but for certain reasons,

due to circumstances,
Spain kept being eliminated.

But we put that aside.

If he scores, we win.
If he scores, we're in the semifinals.

He scored! Fàbregas scored!

So good.

And finally,
winning against Italy on penalties,

for us was like a sign that made us think,

"This one is going to be ours.
If we got past this barrier,

"the path will be open for us.

"We have to prove that we're the best
and win this."

This is a historic day.
The final of the Euro 2008.

GERMANY VS SPAIN

Twenty-four years later...

Not knowing what winning feels like
makes you more courageous,

gives you this boldness
to go after the win.

Spain's ball.
Ernst-Happel Stadium in Vienna.

Puyol passes it to Marchena,
he sends it over to Xavi Hernández...

We said,
"We can't let this one slip away from us.

"And no one remembers the runners-up.
We must win."

That's when it all started.

CHAMPIONS
UEFA EURO 08

FOREVER
WITH US

The son has come for his share.
The mythical Sergio...

Vicente del Bosque was introduced
as new coach of the Spanish national team.

It's funny, because,

after the World Cup, Luis Aragonés stayed,

and after having won the European
Championship, Luis Aragonés left.

We kept telling him,
"But Coach, why are you leaving?

"Damn it, we've won.
We can keep on winning."

"No, my time is over.

"I've done what I wanted,
what I had to do, which was to win.

"I feel proud. I prefer to leave now."

Even knowing
we had the chance to keep winning,

he decided to share the success
with another coach,

and that turned out to be Vicente.

Vicente knew that the team was structured,
established, had its own philosophy.

VICENTE DEL BOSQUE
FORMER COACH

A lot of people around me,
friends and family, told me,

"It's the worst time,
we've just won a championship."

As coaches we something wrong
so we can get there and fix it.

I always told them,
"I think this is the best time."

Go! Go!

We have good players,
we have a distinctive style.

Everything's in order.

The team was open to all the new guys
who would join, young or not.

Sergio was young,
but he had a long track record.

SERGIO BUSQUETS TEAMMATE

Meeting him was a pleasure. We hit it off.

Like an older brother,

he worries about what happens
to every one of his friends.

JESÚS NAVAS TEAMMATE

He's always been very important to me.

Caparrós trusts the young players.

The youth academy's two newest jewels,
Sergio Ramos and Jesús Navas,

were in the starting lineup again.

We had been friends for many years.

Fate had split us up.

I came to Madrid and he stayed in Seville.

And he was having issues

with adapting, and when he joined us,
my being there made everything easier.

At the time,
he also played the role of a father,

you could say,
when Jesús Navas was having issues,

and I think that he helped him
fit in the group for many reasons.

He took on that role on his own.

The trophy speaks for itself.

It has this magic,
this color that identifies it as unique.

After all, gold stands for success,
aspirations and victory.

And there it is.
I think it's a beautiful cup.

SOUTH AFRICA WORLD CUP 2010

If Sergio went forward,
Capdevila defended.

Marchena would also cover Sergio
if he moved forward.

And everything was automatic.

We enjoyed what we did.

We trusted the teammates
that were playing.

The ones who didn't play
were also involved.

Everything was perfect.

Our best game was against Germany
in the semifinals.

It was like we had
this chip on our shoulder,

and that day in Durban we broke free.

We realized that we were a strong team.

GERMANY VS SPAIN

We knew that we had a strong strategy
and we did very well.

We kept rotating, Puyol, Piqué and I,

so that nothing would be set in stone
and to try and somehow trick the opponent.

This play came up,
this corner kick, this huge header

by Puyol, which we all scored, right?

Not only Puyi with his head,
but the entire country.

The Soccer City Stadium will host.
With a capacity for 90,000 spectators.

All tickets are sold out.

CHAMPIONS
WORLD CUP 2010

You are hopeful, full of ambition.

It's the most important match
in your career.

You can't mess it up.

I was struggling with it.

Tensions were high,
people were feeling nervous.

You don't reach a final every day.

In my case, I felt restless,

this anxiety
after the game against Germany.

I could no longer sleep,
I kept thinking about it,

"If we lose, we'll be back in Spain.
How can we lose when we're so close?"

I posted a picture
of the World Cup trophy.

That was our objective.
I only had this WhatsApp picture.

Wesley Sneijder, a very good
friend of mine, texted me the night before

and said to me,
"Be careful, you haven't won it yet."

And I said, "No, no,
it's not there because I won it,

"but it's my objective".

When Andrés scored the goal, I ran.

I unwittingly reached
my peak speed in the World Cup.

Because it's like your body floats,
flies, and it just moves by itself.

We all joined in a unique embrace.

That's the greatest definition
of the word "team."

We said, "We're the best in the world."

I think happiness has a limit.

And when you exceed that limit,
you feel the typical,

"This isn't happening to me.
Playing a World Cup final and winning it."

And you leave feeling relieved,
knowing that you got to experience

the biggest thing you can experience
in the world of soccer,

and that's a privilege.

A World Cup final makes you a bit happier
for the rest of your life.

I don't usually cry
in moments of celebration,

but in that moment, I was moved

when my father said "I love you"
and "I'm proud of you,"

because my father has always been
reserved towards me.

He does say those things to my mother,
to my brothers, or to his friends, like,

"I'm very proud of my boy." "I love him."

Getting a word out of me, an expression
of gratitude, of joy... It's unusual.

And right there it just came out.

I wanted to tell him
that I felt proud of him.

And telling him "I love you"
was just the apotheosis. Between us.

Our stuff.

We're the champions
We're the champions

We're the champions
We're the champions

We finally brought it to a country
that had never seen it before.

I never saw that in my life.

We'll never see it again,
the unity in Spain.

The television and radio stations saying,

"Please, Madrid has collapsed.
There's no more room."

It was something
that really made people come together

for as long as it lasts.
It's been a while.

I hope someday we'll experience again
what we experienced in 2010.

Match one in Stuttgart, against Germany,
match two in Valdebebas, against Ukraine.

Both of them are
official Nations League matches.

I'm convinced
that Sergio suspects he's immortal.

That's why he wants to keep playing games.

He wants to extend his career.

We don't know until when,

because he hasn't shown
the slightest sign of decline.

He formed a fantasy-like
defensive couple with Piqué.

Not even the air could get past them.

They were pure quality from the start.

They were...
They are players of a superior level.

They served as a permanent incentive
to each other, both of them.

If one of them stayed behind,
the other one followed suit.

If one put the pressure on,
the other one, too.

It was a competition between them.

The strength and the leadership
we both had in our respective teams,

we fused them.
We didn't have lunch together,

but Gerard and I had a very good
relationship, based on respect.

On respect and on intelligence,
on which together we were the best.

"Let's not be morons and let's win."

PORTUGAL VS SPAIN

- Sergio Ramos!
- Sergio's problem is...

Sergio will send it in today, no problem.

We're shaking.

He had missed a penalty against Bayern.

RAFA NADAL FRIEND

TWO MONTHS EARLIER

Come on, the Hope of Triana.
The Virgin of Macarena.

Ramos, you've had an excellent match.
You're going to score.

Jesús was hugging other teammates,
Pepe Reina and others.

And he says,
"Churu is going to chip it. He is."

"No, you're crazy."
"He's going to chip it."

Heads or tails.

Sergio Ramos runs up to the ball,
Ramos strikes. Goal! Goal, goal, goal!

Sometimes you don't know if he's crazy,

or if he's just
an extraordinary character.

For that kind of thing,
he will also be remembered.

Ramos has some serious balls!

Fàbregas shoots. Goal!

The third consecutive final!

They turned the team into a classic.

Spain wasn't one
until this generation arrived,

a true genetic miracle
which allowed Spanish soccer

to have a change in style,
and export it, too,

becoming a global benchmark.

Soccer is forgetful,

but it chooses its heroes very well,
and these will never be forgotten.

SPAIN VS ITALY

He gives it to Fàbregas.

The finish! Goal, goal!

Jordi Alba shoots, and goal!

Xavi sends it to Torres.
El Niño strikes. There it goes.

Juan Mata!

SEPTEMBER 3RD 2020

Let's see what the two initial games
have in store for us.

The first one against Germany.
It would be best to have a good start.

He always looks out for everyone else.

He lived so many things in so little time

and was surrounded by great captains.
That gave him all this experience,

and above all, being a leader
comes naturally to him.

- I'm going to take your shoes off.
- No.

You can't be here with your shoes on.

- And later?
- Huh? Later, sure.

We put them away, you can wear them later.
But not here.

The kids are used
to the hectic life that we have,

and they always want to be with us.

One yogurt. Three eggs.

There.

And now that it's open...

I mean, cooking with them is chaotic,
but there are times when I have to do it,

and I must have them participate.

Otherwise, one of them would be
making a mess in the living room,

another one would play in the bathroom.

So in order to keep them all focused
and in the same place,

they must take part.

- One more, okay. Ale, please.
- Me.

Not like that.

It's fun. Well, it's chaos.

I mean, it takes a lot longer.
But hey, what are you going to do?

One of them putting his feet in the sink,

another one getting wet.

I don't even know if I added sugar, salt,
or what happened to the pie. Is it edible?

Is it healthy? All right, then.

- Wow!
- Oh, my God.

I want to smell it.

Hang on. Watch out, Marco. Watch out.

We can put some little mountains on it.

Okay. Right here and no more, okay?

- It's beautiful.
- It's beautiful.

- It's very beautiful.
- Yeah.

- Okay, it's ready.
- Can we eat it?

- Sure, but leave some for Daddy.
- Okay.

- One, two, three! Win, win, and win!
- Win, win, and win! Come on!

The first thing we need
is to be convinced.

Always with modesty and effort,
but you must know that you can win.

A German team...

...where some players have been left out
after playing the final.

GERMANY VS SPAIN

Antonio!

The captain of the national team,
in his 171th appearance with Spain...

Gündogan sends it to the left wing,
to Gosens. Timo Werner.

Timo Werner shoots. Goal.

Ferrán Torres sends it in.
There's the finish! Goal!

Rodrigo's jump and Gayà's finish...

GERMANY - 1
SPAIN - 1

...making it a draw.

My calf muscle is up here.

I'm just too obsessive
or stubborn regarding certain things.

I do like to watch the games I play

to figure out what I can do better.

But you grow up, you prioritize
other stuff, like your family, your kids,

and that makes you open your mind,
and you try to be a better person.

SEPTEMBER 6TH 2020

Look, Marco. Marco, look.

I'm still recovering,
and I can't push my training too hard.

I'm going slowly,
with very controlled exercises.

- Are you strong? Yeah?
- Yeah.

Was that too hard? Kiss Mommy.

Give Mommy a kiss.
And a hug. Hey! Come here!

Sometimes I can't work out in the morning,

so the kids are home
and I must look after them and work out.

It's best to make them participate
in the workout,

and they have a lot of fun.
It's like an amusement park.

You have elastic bands, exercise balls...

Catch it. Oh! But throw it to me here.

Wow! One, two, and...

Oops!

You have to dodge it, okay? Come on.

No, no, no.

- From one side to the other.
- And you towards me.

Mommy has to work out.
And you want to play.

Let's do this exercise first,

- and then we'll play.
- Okay.

Sometimes I am too demanding of them,
considering their age.

I want them to be responsible.

Maybe because I was like that
when I was little.

Now you grab it and Mommy will do it.
Go on, grab it here.

- One, two...
- Marco is doing great.

You do the same thing Marco did.
From one side to the other.

I think that the effort you put into being
a mother or a father is so worth it,

because you've given life to four
wonderful living beings, in our case,

who make...

Who give meaning to what
might have been empty in your life.

We're going over
to Valdebebas this Sunday,

this second day
of the UEFA Nations League.

We want to witness the players...

It's kind of a "me" moment.
A personal moment.

Just me and my locker.

My cleats, my shin pads.

When I get to the dressing room,
I kiss my chain a few times.

I always tie my right cleat first
when I get dressed.

They're little habits
that I have had for many years.

We're always looking
for something to hang onto,

because it makes us feel safer,

or because it has worked out well for us
at certain times,

and that makes you feel more confident.

- Churu.
- Be confident.

You establish these things
depending on the results.

I used to... Well, maybe I had another...

Now I step into the field
always with my right foot first,

and many years ago,
I used to do it with my right foot

and I would jump twice on my left foot.

That didn't go well and I stopped.

They're very meaningful details for me,

of motivation, of superstition.
It's like the entrance of a gladiator,

to the fight. To the battle, to the arena.

SPAIN VS UKRAINE

We've gotten used to the silence,

to yelling to your teammates
and hearing it in the whole stadium,

to an echo that we had never perceived,
had never heard in a stadium.

You get used to it, but you don't like it.

Dani Olmo on to Sergio Ramos.

Sergio Ramos with the header.
He just scored the second goal. Goal!

No one is indispensable

and no one can be called up
for the national team forever,

so I always relish in a special way

hearing my name
being called up by the coach.

SPAIN - 4
UKRAINE - 0

I hope to keep hearing my name.

It will mean
that I'm doing things right in my team.

The national team is really a reflection
of the work you put in every day.

Indisputable victory. An impeccable
performance by the Spanish side.

We beat Ukraine by four goals to nil.

On top of that, the match...

Everything goes by really fast,

but in the future
I will have time to sit down with my kids,

"Look what Dad achieved
and how hard it was."

SPAIN

It gets harder and harder to win.
You realize that winning the World Cup,

the Champions League,
winning the league... It's very difficult.

I've won all of them,
but I want to win them again

to enjoy those moments again
in my last years.
