Ramos, 38, showed off his new ink during his debut for Mexican outfit Monterrey on Sunday, having moved to the club as a free agent following his exit from boyhood club Sevilla. The Spaniard helped guide his new team to a 3-1 win over San Luis, with striker German Berterame scoring a brace and Oliver Torres also finding the back of the net. Ahead of his debut in Mexico, Ramos added to his rich tapestry of tattoos by getting the number 93 etched on to the side of his head, just above his left ear. According to 433 on Instagram, the number serves as a tribute to his stoppage-time goal for Real Madrid in the Champions League final back in 2014. Los Blancos, who were up against bitter rivals Atletico Madrid in the final in Lisbon, were trailing for most of the game against Diego Simeone's men after Diego Godin struck in the 36th minute. The hidden meaning behind Sergio Ramos' new tattoo on his head has been revealed Ramos, 38, showed off his new ink during his debut for Mexican outfit Monterrey on Sunday It is a tribute to his stoppage-time goal for Real Madrid in the 2014 Champions League final Ramos rescued his side in the dying moments of normal time with a 93rd minute header, before Gareth Bale, Marcelo and Cristiano Ronaldo netted in extra time to guide Real Madrid to victory. The triumph in 2014 was Ramos' first of four Champions League gongs with the Spanish giants, who went on to win the tournament in three successive seasons between 2015-16 and 2017-18. The goal clearly holds special value for Ramos, who also won five La Ligas during his time in Madrid and two Ligue 1 titles while representing Paris Saint-Germain between 2021 and 2023. The legendary defender was also a key part of Spain's era of dominance on the international stage, winning the World Cup in 2010 as well as the 2008 and 2012 European Championships.
