The Spaniard was benched during the European fixture against Manchester City but was reselected for the league game against Rayo Vallecano, which Real Madrid won 2-0 on Monday.
Real Madrid faced Rayo Vallecano as they returned their focus to the Spanish La Liga after winning their first UEFA Champions League game 3-2 during the midweek.
Los Blancos had to face the Premier League champions, Manchester City, in the opening game of the UEFA Champions League and even though http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 guided Real Madrid
to a 3-2 victory.
Even though the game against Manchester City was a tough one, the Spanish defender, Sergio Ramos, was benched by Jose Mourinho.
While many think that it was only to give Raphael Varane a good European experience, others believe that it was to give http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Ramos-c33096 a lesson that Real Madrid can still survive without him and he needs to up his performance.
While speaking about how he was benched against Manchester City, Ramos clearly said that he does not know whether it was a punishment or not. While speaking about him being benched, the Spaniard said:
“Maybe it was a punishment, I don’t know; don’t ask me, these are technical matters.”
While Mourinho decided to bench him during the game against City, the Spanish defender returned in the starting line-up when Real Madrid faced Rayo Vallecano on Monday during the Spanish La Liga.
It was an important fixture for Los Blancos, who, before the game, only had four points in the Primera Division out of the available twelve.
However, after the fixture, Real Madrid were able to secure all three points and they currently possesses seven points in the league, eight behind their arch-rivals, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604; who are also currently leading the points table.
While speaking about how he was benched, the Spaniard quoted that he feels fine with it and Real Madrid is in his blood.
“This is my family and family matters are settled behind closed doors. I am Real Madrid and this club runs through my blood, whatever happens, this stays with me.”
The Spaniard ended his conversation by saying that he is looking forward to contribute more for Los Blancos.
“I am looking forward to continuing to contribute and after all, we all love to play and today I am happy to be back in the starting XI.”
