Sergio Ramos reveals a Real Madrid star’s ambition: plans a legendary performance against Barcelona

Sergio Ramos, the Real Madrid legend, has ignited the build-up to El Clásico with a clear message, expressing his hope that Kylian Mbappé shines against Barcelona this weekend.

The former Merengue captain is preparing to closely follow the first major showdown of the 2025-26 season and has not hesitated to express his desire to see an offensive masterclass from his “brother” Mbappé.

Sergio Ramos and the bond with Mbappé

Ramos recalled his time alongside Mbappé at Paris Saint-Germain, where they shared a locker room before their paths diverged.

In an interview with El Chiringuito TV, Ramos said: “El Clásico? You know I’m with Real Madrid until death. Hopefully Madrid wins and my brother ‘Kyky’ has a great game.”

This closeness between the two players adds a layer of intrigue; even off the Spanish pitch, Ramos remains an influential voice motivating the French forward.

Ramos also highlighted that Mbappé is in exceptional form. With ten LaLiga goals and eleven consecutive matches scoring for club and country, making him one of Europe’s most in-form forwards.

The expectation is that his talent could finally tip the scales in favor of Real Madrid in a Clásico where Mbappé has historically struggled, four defeats in his first season, despite scoring five goals.

Real Madrid strategy against Barcelona

Sergio Ramos is not only focused on Mbappé; he also emphasized Real Madrid strategic preparation. The Merengues have identified Barcelona young attacker Lamine Yamal as a key weakness to exploit.

The 18-year-old’s defensive tracking and pressure are considered vulnerable. And Xabi Alonso and his coaching staff are expected to capitalize on this opportunity.

Ramos stresses that this Clásico could be decisive not just for the result, but for the impact of players like Mbappé. Who can change the course of the game with vision and finishing.

Talent, tactics, and motivation combine to embody the essence of Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabéu. With the legend who once defended the club’s colors closely watching every action.
