Ramos: My childhood nickname was "mayonnaise" because I loved it so much

According to Marca, former Real Madrid captain Ramos revealed in an interview a little-known childhood nickname: "When I was a kid, they called me 'mayonnaise' because I was a mayonnaise fanatic and always liked to cover my burgers with mayonnaise."

Sergio Ramos has lived half his life in the spotlight, both on and off the field, but he still retains some personal details that have never been made public. One of them is the childhood nickname he revealed in a recent interview with Ibai Llanos.

" When I was a kid, they called me 'mayonnaise' because I was a mayonnaise fanatic, I love mayonnaise. Now when I pick up a burger, I smear it back and forth with mayonnaise. Add my little mustache and beard, (with sauce on my face) I look like Santa Claus. "

These remarks are very consistent with the more mundane Ramos who occasionally appears outside the focus of competition. This little hobby of his for mayonnaise goes hand in hand with his strict diet and fitness plan. He maintains intermittent fasting and often shares videos of himself "crazily working his abs" in his home gym after returning to the club. During his time at Paris Saint-Germain, he was also photographed doing high-intensity training in the gym after returning from summer vacation to prepare for pre-season.

Ramos also talked about his relationship with alcohol, making it clear that it is not a mainstream habit in his life. "I play when I go out to play, but I didn't drink any alcohol before I was 23 years old. Occasionally I would drink a small glass, such as on my birthday or New Year's. But that Malibu rum with pineapple is absolutely lethal, it's like a nuclear bomb to me. Red wine is something I really like."

Thanks to these habits, Ramos, who is in his forties, still has his physical condition compared by many to his early days with Real Madrid, although his future remains uncertain.
