Real Madrid CF captain Sergio Ramos has had his say on bitter rival Barcelona FC’s great run of form, reminding them that form is temporary and in football, change is inevitable.
The World Cup winning Spanish defender was at the La Liga awards on Monday and addressed the impressive form of Barcelona which was highlighted in the 4-0 El Clasico win against Ramos’ Real,
a Football changes in a matter of hours and last season we ended the year really well and Barca were worse than us, but at the end of the season they won the treble,a the 29-year-old said, according to goal.com.
a You have to be prepared for both the praise and the criticism because, like I said, football is always changing.a
