SERGIO RAMOS has broken the record for the most goals scored by a defender in LaLiga this century.
The Madrid skipper, who lifted the league title in the capital last week, opened the scoring against Leganes on Sunday.
Sergio Ramos broke the record for most goals scored by a defender in LaLiga
It took his tally for the season to 11, making history by surpassing the record set by Mariano Pernia for Getafe 15 years ago.
Ramos – who has undergone a dramatic body transformation throughout his career – has hit an amazing scoring form since the league’s restart.
He has six goals during that time, the same as Barcelona captain Lionel Messi.
The centre-back has been trusted as Madrid’s primary spot-kick taker this season, scoring all seven.
Frenchman Karim Benzema also has a 100 per cent record from his five penalties taken this season.
Ramos led the party after Madrid dethroned Barca as Spanish champions.
And club president Florentino Perez insisted the 34-year-old defender will retire at the Bernabeu.
Perez said: “Sergio Ramos is going to be here his whole life.
“So the fans can be calm.
“He has been impressive as a leader, the team are a close group and much of the reason for that lies with him.”
