Ramos ‘must accept’ abuse

Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos admits ‘he must accept’ that he will face criticism from opposition fans but insists it won’t affect him.

The 30-year-old scored an own goal five minutes from time to spark a late Sevilla victory, three days after the former Rojiblancos defender scored a ‘panenka’ penalty and celebrated in front of the home fans at Sanchez Pizjuan.

"From the moment I came out on the pitch I tried to ignore it all," Ramos said after the game.

"The [own] goal was one of those things that can happen in the game. On a personal level I played a great game, one of the best I have played here at the Pizjuan.

"Clearly I cannot change the reality of the situation and must accept it as it is. I would have liked to be received in a different way, but I am not going to change how I am because of some of them. I am very happy and satisfied with my attitude.

“As captain I felt the love of my own team and my fans. I will say no more about this. If there are violent people, measures should be taken."
