Sergio Ramos has admitted that he would rather win La Decima with Real Madrid than another World Cup.
Los Blancos were drawn with Borussia Dortmund for the Champions League quarter-finals this afternoon, as the capital club look to win their 10th European Cup.
And the defender has conceded that, given the choice, he would prefer a club triumph than lifting the title with Spain in the summer.
“I’ve got a tattoo of the World Cup but not the European Cup,” he told La Cope.
“Right now, I'd rather win 'La Décima' than the World Cup. If I manage to win both, I might mention it to those who have criticized me.”
The Roja international then commented on the Clasico against Barcelona this weekend, praising the Catalan outfit.
“Barcelona are having a fantastic season – maybe people have become accustomed to seeing them up there but it’s unusual to have three teams in the title race and with the amount of points we have at this stage of the campaign.”
Ramos concluded by remarking on some of his teammates at Santiago Bernabeu.
“Pepe has learned from his mistakes and he’s matured. Both of us have made mistakes.
“The Press makes out that we are both violent players but we just get on with it. Every team has to defend as they know how.
“Casillas is a great captain – both for the national team and Madrid. I’m the deputy captain and both us have different duties within the dressing room.
“I’ve known a few captains who are leaders and others who aren’t – he’s a leader.
“I have a great friendship with Cristiano. When a team mate has a problem, you have to help them and take care of them. Whenever I have had problems, he has worried about me and looked out for me.”
