Sergio Ramos Twitter: Real Madrid star pens emotional message after missing out on Euro 2020

Following Luis Enrique's announcement, Sergio Ramos took to social media and expressed his sadness on missing out on an international call-up and featuring for Spain later in the summer. Reacting to the social media buzz following his omission from the Spain squad for Euro 2020, Ramos shared an emotional message with all his followers on Instagram and Twitter. 

He wrote, " I have fought and worked body and soul every day to be able to reach 100% with Real Madrid and the National Team, but things do not always go the way you want. It hurts me not to have been able to help my team more and not defend Spain but, in this case, it is better to rest, fully recover well and, next year, return as we have always done."

Ramos added, "It hurts not to represent your country, but you have to be honest and sincere. I wish all my teammates the best of luck and I hope we have a great Euro Cup. I will cheer as one more fan from home. A big greeting to everyone and always #VivaEspaña and #HalaMadrid."

Sergio Ramos Spain career

The 35-year-old defender made over 180 appearances for La Roja and went on to win major trophies with the team which include one World Cup and two European Championships. However, the Spain national team captain has been plagued with injuries this season, which has kept him from playing his best football this year. Ramos struggled to get valuable game time, making just seven appearances for Real Madrid in 2021 which resulted in Spanish national team head coach Luis Enrique opting against selecting the Blancos skipper.
