Ramos: I'd have played tennis if I wanted to win individual titles Real Madrid Chosen in FIFA's Ideal XI

Sergio Ramos was rather dismissive of FIFA's The Best awards despite travelling to Milan for the ceremony on Monday.

The Real Madrid captain was named in the Ideal XI, but explained that he'd rather win with his club.

"I'd prefer to not come here and for Real Madrid to win titles," he said at the awards.

"If I'd wanted to win individual titles, then I'd have dedicated myself to tennis.

"When the team wins, we always win.

"It wasn't a good season last year, but it's a good sign that Real Madrid have players in the XI."

Marcelo's selection in the team was controversial, given he wasn't even Los Blanos' starting left-back for all of 2018/19.

"He's one of the best in the world," Ramos said when asked about the Brazilian's inclusion.

"Everyone is free to comment.

"It's hard to please everyone."
