Sergio Ramos is a defender with the soul of striker and though his main job is to avoid goals, he will take the slightest opportunity to seek glory at the opposite end of the pitch.
He did it when he played as a right-back and has maintained that trend since moving centrally.
The presence of the Real Madrid captain in an opponent's penalty area makes defenders restless and nervous because they fear him as much as the best strikers.
There appears to be no way to stop him at present and he is undoubtedly the best false nine in LaLiga.
Ramos has forged his legend based on decisive goals in the final minutes of games, doing so in Champions League finals, the Super Cup and also in league matches.
This season, his seven goals in LaLiga have given Real eight points, a figure that puts him alongside the best forwards in the competition.
Only Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi with nine points won are higher.
Ramos is level with Athletic Club's Aritz Aduriz and Antoine Griezmann of Atletico Madrid.
Seven goals in six league games and in five of them (Villarreal, Deportivo, Barcelona, Malaga and Betis) his goals were decisive.
