Former Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos, now 39 and playing for Monterrey, launches new single “Cibeles,” reflecting on his emotional exit from the club and hinting at a new creative path.
Former Real Madrid stalwart Sergio Ramos, now aged 39, continues to command attention—not just on the pitch but also in the studio.
Born on March 30, 1986 in Camas, Spain, Ramos has enjoyed a storied professional career spanning nearly two decades. Since signing for Liga MX side Monterrey in February 2025, he’s taken the field in the 2025–26 season, making seven appearances and even scoring his first goal for the club—placing him among the squad’s early scorers this campaign.
In a surprising creative twist, Ramos dropped his debut solo single, “Cibeles,” on August 31. Named after Madrid’s iconic Cibeles Fountain—a symbol of Real Madrid triumphs—the song fuses ballad, flamenco, and urban rhythms, with deeply personal lyrics penned by Ramos himself. The emotionally charged verses like “I never wanted to leave, you asked me to fly” have been widely interpreted as a pointed reflection on how his 2021 Real Madrid departure was handled.
With visually evocative imagery—Ramos clutching rosary beads against flashbacks of Bernabéu glory—the video has already gone viral, racking up millions of views in days. While still active as a defender for Monterrey, this song could mark the start of a parallel music path rather than just a hobby. Ramos has plans for more recordings, including potential collaborations with artists like Carin León, Maluma, J Balvin, and others.
Whether “Cibeles” heralds a new career trajectory or stands as an artistic outlet, Ramos is proving that his legacy extends well beyond stadium walls.
