Ramos : I'd be delighted to take penalties for Spain UEFA Nations League Happy to step up under pressure

Just as he is for Real Madrid, Sergio Ramos has said that he would have no qualms about stepping up to be Spain's penalty taker.

Speaking at a press conference at the Estadio Benito Villamarin, the defender was quizzed about taking on that role.

"I feel fine in these [penalty] situations," he said.

"I'm calm and if I have to do it for my country too, I'd be delighted."

He also discussed Spain's change of fortunes since their shock defeat to Russia at the World Cup.

"After a bit of a changing of the guard and with us having a new coach, we've got back a bit of discipline and structure," he added.

"We're getting the positive results and it's the manner in which we're doing it, making sure we keep playing our stylish and exciting football."

As a former Sevilla player, Ramos has no qualms about playing at the ground of their fiercest rivals, Real Betis.

"It's the first time I've been here with Spain and I'm happy," he continued.

"I've always felt loved, part of the Sevilla fan base still applaud me, and I've always identified with great fans which is what Real Betis supporters are."

Though England were well beaten in the previous fixture, Ramos is taking nothing for granted.

"We know England are a great team, but we played well at Wembley and we want to do it again," he noted.

"They were semi finalists in the World Cup and they have many virtues."
