Madrid – Fans have long known Sergio Ramos as the rock of Real Madrid’s defense, but now the legendary captain has shocked both the football and music worlds by releasing his debut rap track, Cibeles.
From the pitch to the booth
The song is inspired by Madrid’s Plaza de Cibeles – the iconic site where Real Madrid celebrates its greatest triumphs. Ramos himself lifted trophies there countless times, including five La Liga titles and four Champions League crowns.
But what truly stunned listeners was his rap verse, filled with raw emotion and thinly veiled criticism:
“There are things I’ve never said, but they still bring me pain. I never wanted to leave – it was you who told me to fly away.”
Who is he talking about?
Fans quickly speculated that the verse was aimed directly at Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez. Back in 2021, Ramos had agreed to a one-year contract extension with a pay cut to stay at the Bernabéu. But when he finally accepted, he discovered the offer had already expired – forcing him to leave the club in tears.
Turning heartbreak into music
With Cibeles, Ramos isn’t just experimenting with music – he’s pouring his heart out over one of the most painful chapters of his career. The once fierce warrior on the pitch has now reinvented himself as a rapper, firing lyrical shots at the very man who ended his Real journey.
Fans react
-
Real Madrid supporters: Many expressed renewed sadness, seeing the track as a reminder of how poorly Ramos’s departure was handled.
-
Music fans: Others were impressed with Ramos’s versatility, praising his flow and attitude: “Not only can he defend and score goals – he can rap too!”
Though freshly released, Cibeles has already set social media ablaze, marking the beginning of what could be a surprising side career for the legendary Spanish defender.
