Sergio Ramos has criticised a tweet from Atletico Madrid‘s official Twitter account for what he felt questioned the values of Real Madrid.
In the build up to the two city rivals’ Champions League semi-final second leg clash at the Vicente Calderon, the home side have posted messages about the club.
“We fight for our dreams without anyone giving us anything,” said one, accompanied by the hashtag ‘#NoLoPuedenEntender’, which translates as “they cannot understand”.
Further messages such as “I love you for your values, not for what you win” have also been posted which is believed to be in response to a banner at the Santiago Bernabeu asking ‘How does it feel to have lost two Champions League finals?’
When speaking about the controversy in a pre-match press conference, Ramos insists the Los Blancos squad is filled with humble players willing to sacrifices on the pitch.
“Here it seems we were all born in Beverly Hills, with a current account of more than €40 million,” Ramos said, as reported by Football Espana.
“But we have many people who come from humble backgrounds, who were brought up well. All the campaigns, whatever anyone wants to do, does not change what we do.
“We have our values, our humility and make our sacrifice on the pitch.”

Ramos has been the scourge of Atletico in Champions League matches over the past three years.
He denied Diego Simeone’s side right at the death in the 2014 final with an injury time equaliser and then opened the scoring as well as successfully converting in the penalty shootout in last year’s final.
