'I'll be a Sevilla player until I die' - Ramos opens up on 'lies' around Real Madrid transfer

Sergio Ramos has opened up on his relationship with hometown side and former team Sevilla, admitting that he has been left emotionally pained by the fallout from his move to Real Madrid.

The veteran centre-back swapped his boyhood club for Los Blancos in 2005, where he has enjoyed near-unparalleled success at domestic and continental level, as well as World Cup glory with the Spanish national team, who he captains.

But the manner of the defender's depature from Andalusia has left its marks on the psyche of both the player and his old stomping ground, with both Ramos and Sevilla pointing the finger at the other for his exit - but the former admits that the latter remains in his heart despite all the "lies".
