Defender of Real Madrid Sergio Ramos is convinced that the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo will not affect the ability of "Blancos" to win trophies.

"Of course, it's bad when you lose such a top football player, but the task of Real is to win, and we will do it without him," Ramos said..

"For all these years in Real Madrid has been a lot of cool players. But our club is above any single player. Whatever happens, Real Madrid will always strive to win ".

"The doors of Real Madrid are open to all great players, whoever they are. We always want players to feel at home. They are collected here for a reason, and we want them to continue to grow. The arrival of Courtois increased competition for a place in the gate, and his past as an Atletico player does not matter ".

In addition, Ramos shared his expectations from the upcoming match against Atletico in the UEFA Super Cup.

"Being here and playing for the UEFA Super Cup is a big honor. This is a good sign, which says that things have gone well for us.

This is the award for winning the Champions League. We have a chance to start the season with the conquest of the trophy, and we want to do it that way, "Ramos said..

"This is an excellent opportunity for Estonia to host a match of this caliber. Real Madrid is full of fans around the world, and we will be closer to our fans here ".

UEFA Super Cup match between Madrid and Atletico will be held on Wednesday, August 15. Beginning of the meeting at 22:00 Kyiv time.
