Just six months ago, Real Madrid star Sergio Ramos made headlines by continuing his career in Mexico with Monterrey, quickly becoming the team captain. His impact was expected to be on the field, but he surprised many by venturing into the music industry.
On Saturday, the Spanish player announced on social media that he will release his debut single as a singer. The song, titled Cibeles, is named after the famous plaza in Madrid where he celebrated numerous victories with Real Madrid. It will be accompanied by a music video showcasing moments from his time at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.
The release is set for Sunday, August 31, at 7 p.m. local Spanish time. Ramos previewed the project with the caption: “Mi historia, mi música” (“My story, my music”).
A snippet of the song features a line that caught attention: “There are things I never told you, that still hurt me. I never wanted to leave, you asked me to fly”, which seems to reflect his feelings about leaving Real Madrid.
Meanwhile, at the age of 39, Ramos continues to excel on the field. He has led Monterrey to six consecutive wins after their Club World Cup campaign. He has played 21 matches for the club, balancing his sports career with his new musical endeavor.
