Sergio Ramos’s time with Monterrey has officially come to a close. Following the team’s elimination in the Apertura 2025 semifinals at the hands of Toluca, the veteran defender confirmed this weekend that he has played his last game for the five-time Liga MX champions.
While his next destination remains unknown, Ramos took to social media on Tuesday to share a farewell message, expressing gratitude for his time at Rayados.
Sergio Ramos’s full farewell statement:
“It’s never easy to say goodbye. A stage of my career that began with so much excitement in February has come to an end. It has allowed me to discover a new country, a new city, a new style of football and has left me with so many new experiences and, more importantly, new friends.
“I will always feel proud to have worn the Rayados’ captain’s armband, of having led the team in the first Club World Cup in the new format, of having fought in the Clausura, in the Apertura, in the Leagues Cup and in the Concacaf Champions Cup. Of having defended [Monterrey’s home stadium] the Gigante de Acero by your side in every match we’ve played at home.
“I have left everything on the pitch and off it to be able to give my very best. 34 games, over 3,000 minutes, 8 goals and so many emotions that can’t be described in figures.
“To the club, my dear teammates, the coaching teams, the staff, to everyone, thank you. And above all to you, the fans, who have made me feel your warmth and your support from the first time I stepped on the field. I’ll always look back fondly on this stage of my career and I’ll always be proud to say ¡Arriba el Monterrey!”
