Sergio Ramos wasn't part of Real Madrid's 3-0 defeat at Paris Saint-Germain as he was serving a suspension and, not for the first time, the captain's teammates struggled without him.
Their past five Champions League defeats have all come when he has not been in the team.
In addition to the loss in France on Wednesday night, there was the elimination at home to Ajax last season when the centre-back was serving the first part of this two-match suspension.
Ramos was rested for Los Blancos' two group stage matches against CSKA Moscow last season and these were both defeats as well, a 1-0 loss in Russia and a shocking 3-0 one at home.
The fifth match in this run of European defeats without Ramos was in the 2017/18 season.
The defender was suspended for the return leg against Juventus, when Real Madrid almost blew a three-goal advantage from the first leg.
They were losing 3-0 in front of their own fans, before Lucas Vazquez won a penalty that Cristiano Ronaldo converted to carry the team towards a 13th European Cup - even if that second leg went down as a loss.
It's a concern that Real Madrid have struggled so much without Ramos in Europe, and they'll hope there are no suspensions to come for the centre-back during this continental campaign.

If u know a lil about football you have to admit that Sergio is one the best of all time!And without him his team will suffer obviously
When one team depend on one particular player more, they suffer more in their absence. Madrid and Man u are on same path!After passing a historic decade Man U suffering right now and Madrid's is on way

Brooo..I can understand this leadership thing.. Manchester United is suffering after that 2013 season...all the leaders of Utd also slowly went off Scholes, Vidic,Rio,Evra,Giggs, Rooney , Carrick.... Once the Club has the habit of Playing with only these players ..it's hard to Play without them... The likes of Cristiano,Ramos,Pepe, Marcelo, Modric, Kross, Benzema and all of them had the habit of Playing with each other.... I don't wish Madrid To be like us.. They really lack leaders on that pitch...Nobody is stepping up... Since last 10 years.I haven't seen Real Madrid playing this bad in Champions League

Captain is everything for the team. In 2014 Germany beat Brazil by 7-1 due to the absence of Captain T.Silva.
Or is it without Neymar?

Fucked goalie fucked up midfield This hurt me so much he concedes even the ball coming right to him the angle he’s Covering he ended up conceding man I fucking wish I could stand infront of @Zidane and really ask him if he thinks courtois is better than navas! Man you guys are killing your own selves! You won three champions league in a row with a guy yet you sell him. You gotta learn how to be grateful in life

Funny thing is, I can select another squad from Madrid that can beat d squad that played against PSG last night. As long as Benzema will never score in a big match and Curtuois must concede even if he plays against a div2 side.
