Napoli defender Raul Albiol has paid tribute to Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos.

Albiol was at Real when Ramos first arrived from Sevilla.

He stated: "He had everything to become so strong. He arrived at Real very young and everyone knew that he would play all his life at Real Madrid, that he would become a legend of the club and the Spanish national team.

"He is the captain of Real as of the national team. It is clear that you can not assume this at 19, you have to be good at all levels, in terms of condition and mentality. But there was no doubt that he would become a legend. And he has a few more years left."
