Real Madrid teammates hailed Sergio Ramos after their Champions League win at Napoli.

The skipper struck in the 3-1 win.

Goalkeeper Keylor Navas said: "Ramos is a very important player, he's always there to help us out and we've got to be pleased with the result. He's got a striker's instinct within him, whenever he goes up for corners we have real belief in him and when it comes to headers, he's always got the ability to put the ball where he wants to."

Dani Carvajal added: "Sergio Ramos is extremely important for us. He's gone and proved that again here and here's hoping that he continues to pitch in with many more goals."

Real midfielder Casemiro also said: “Ramos is making history at this club. You have to congratulate him and I'm happy to have him on our side. When we talk about the BBC, we're talking about the best player in the world, another player with enormous quality and another who has real pace and power.

"There will always be criticism, but they're very important players for us. Our aim is to retain the title, we're pleased to have qualified and now we've got to focus on LaLiga."
