Real Madrid have been drawn against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League Round of 16, which means that Sergio Ramos will face the team that he captained last year, but admitted he will give his all for the Ligue 1 side.
The Spanish centre-back claimed that he would rather play against another team in the knockouts, but stressed that he is fully focused on helping PSG go through to the next round.
"When I arrived on the plane it was [Manchester] United [who PSG got in the draw], who are a team that I liked and then it turns out that it wasn't valid," Ramos told the press.
"I would have preferred not to have that duel [against Real Madrid] but returning to the [Estadio Santiago] Bernabeu is a cause for joy. I wasn't able to bid farewell because of COVID-19.
"Fate is capricious. I would have liked another team to face us [PSG]. You know the affection and love I have for Real Madrid.
"Now it's my turn to defend PSG and I'll do everything possible to [help them] go through. They are the team that took a gamble on me. I'm going to fight to the death for PSG."
Injuries have taken their toll on Ramos, as the 35-year-old centre-back has played just one game for PSG so far this season.
The Spaniard revealed that he struggled to adapt to life in Paris, but has already integrated in the dressing room.
"I was excited to get back to winning," Ramos noted.
