Critics often receive harsh treatment for his rough play, but Sergio Ramos is considered the best defender on the planet, according to Turin's Juventus representative Giorgio Chiellini.
Tomorrow, teams represented by G. Chiellini and S. Ramos will clash in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals. G. Chiellini, who is also considered one of the best in the world, believes he does not have as many qualities on the field as the "Real" captain.
"I will never have the technique or speed on the field like Sergio Ramos. He is the best defender on the planet and knows how to play the most important matches," he said.
"In Spain, there is also Gerard Pique, who had the opportunity to grow as a defender while playing alongside Puyol," added G. Chiellini.
Asked about Juventus's ambitions in this Champions League season, the defender replied: "This season we are even more hungry to win this tournament than in previous years.
However, we have strong competitors - the Spanish teams are always favorites, and there are also Bayern and Man City."
