Sergio Ramos

Sergio Ramos holds the record for most La Liga appearances by any Spanish-born player at 671, and he is the only outfield defender to score in 5 consecutive Champions League seasons. His 101 career goals as a centre-back include the 93rd-minute equalizer in the 2014 Champions League Final, rivaling #11 Ferenc Puskás's 4-goal final in 1960 as a decisive moment. With 5 La Liga titles and a national-record 180 caps for Spain, he also won the 2010 World Cup, cementing a defensive legacy 30% more decorated than the average centre-back to ever play in La Liga.
