The Spanish Clásico is already heating up, and one of the main figures adding fuel to the fire is Sergio Ramos. The legendary Real Madrid captain, now playing for Sevilla, reaffirmed his eternal love for the white shirt and expressed his desire to see Kylian Mbappé shine against Barcelona on October 26.

“My heart will always be white, until the end,” Ramos declared proudly. “I hope Madrid wins, and that my brother Kyky (Mbappé) has a great game. I’ll be talking to him from now until the Clásico to get him fired up,” added the Spanish defender, who remains close friends with the new Real Madrid superstar.

Ramos, an eternal symbol of Real Madrid

Sergio Ramos’ words didn’t go unnoticed. His name remains synonymous with Real Madrid’s identity, having defined an entire era at the Santiago Bernabéu. For over 15 years, the Andalusian defender was the heart and soul of the dressing room, leading the club to countless domestic and international titles — and delivering unforgettable performances in past Clásicos against Barcelona.

Now, from afar, Ramos makes no secret of his wish to see Xabi Alonso’s side come out on top in the battle for the LaLiga lead. The veteran made it clear that his loyalty to Los Blancos remains unshakable: “I’ll always be a Madridista. It’s my home, my family, and the club of my life.”

Meanwhile, Mbappé, with 14 goals so far this season, heads into the match in unstoppable form. His upcoming showdown with the Catalans promises to be one of the fiercest in recent years, especially after his decisive performance against Juventus in the Champions League, which cemented his status as the leader of Madrid’s new era.

El Clásico heats up amid controversy and bold statements

The build-up to El Clásico isn’t just fueled by Ramos’ comments. From the Barcelona side, president Joan Laporta stirred controversy by criticizing refereeing decisions after Hansi Flick’s red card in the match against Girona, hinting at alleged favoritism toward Real Madrid. “If there isn’t a white hand involved, it sure looks like one,” he quipped.

The response from Madrid came swiftly. Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois shot back: “He says that because he has to — because of the Negreira case. I’ve never felt that Madrid has been favored.”

The showdown between Real Madrid and Barcelona, set for October 26, will be far more than just another match. With the top spot in LaLiga on the line, emotions, rivalries, and off-field remarks are all adding fuel to an already fiery atmosphere.

And while the world awaits kickoff, Sergio Ramos has already made his loyalties clear: the former captain wants to see Madrid triumph — and Mbappé take center stage in what could be a historic night.
