Sergio Ramos gets into social media exchange with Ryanair after release of first single | OneFootball

Former Real Madrid, Sevilla and Spain star Sergio Ramos has never lacked for confidence or character, and this week has been a firm reminder of that. On Sunday night, he released his first music single, ‘Cibeles’.

The name references the iconic fountain and square in central Madrid where Los Blancos celebrate title wins, and the lyrics left little to the imagination. ‘There were things I never told you, that still hurt me, I never wanted to leave’, has been firmly interpreted as a reference to his departure from Real Madrid, following a controversial stand-off between himself and President Florentino Perez. This is his second foray into the music industry.

Ryanair look for fun at Sergio Ramos’ expense

It is fair to say that Ramos’ new song has been met with no shortage of mirth in the Spanish capital. Various characters in the media, and more particularly on social media, have been lining up to take their shots – including Ryanair.

The Irish airline, famed for their ‘cheeky’ social media presence, responded to a tweet promoting the song saying ‘Petition to ban this song on our planes’.

The Andalusian defender did not take long to respond, replying ‘You’ve put speakers in your planes now? I’ll let you use mine if you need it’. Social media is yet to declare victory in the witty repartee between the two.

Ramos suprises with statements on musical ambition

Ramos appeared, in another promotional effort, on Spanish chat show El Hormiguero, and surprised many by declaring that he could see himself winning a Grammy for his musical endeavours before the Champions League as a manager.

“I’m an optimist,” Ramos explained, as quoted by ESPN Chile. “I always tell people to dream… I see myself doing both, winning a Champions League as a manager, but I see myself winning a Grammy in the next few years, before that.”

“I feel like making music at this stage of my life. I want to share the experiences I’ve had with people. In the next five to seven years, I see myself becoming more involved in music because it allows you to compose and be at home… You can make music, do your job, and also spend time with your family.”
