In a promotional video for Qatar Airways, called "My trip to Paris", Sergio Ramos, 35, looked back on his youth, his career, his memories and his arrival in the capital.
The least we can say is that the former soul of Real Madrid does not regret his choice.
“I had already had contact with Messi, with Navas, we had already talked about it before, he breathes.
I spoke with Neymar too and other players.
The reception was extraordinary and therefore the adaptation is easier.
It was exciting, moving, complicated also because there were many years in Madrid.
Ramos however had to wait many months before wearing the PSG tunic in competition.
Injured in the calf, the Spaniard indeed celebrated his debut in Ligue 1 on November 28, 2021 (3-1 victory at Saint-Étienne).

"It's a unique sporting project, I enjoyed it a lot as a family, with my brother in the early days.
We needed time to adapt, especially at school level and in the search for a new home.
And then I am optimistic and I like challenges.

For the ex-Madrilenian, who will face his former club in the round of 16 of the Champions League (going to Paris on February 15, returning to Santiago-Bernabeu on March 9) there is no doubt: for any footballer who self-respecting and who wants to win trophies, Paris is
the place to be
.
“It's a great team, it doesn't have many years of history, but it has a unique project and all the players today want to come to PSG.
This is the team to beat for the project, for all the players who came, he asserts.
Now, we have to prove it on the pitch, we are in a good dynamic and we aspire to win all the titles.
I still have the same ambition and I want to keep winning.
