Departing Real Madrid defender Ramos: Florentino like a father

Departing Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos insists he wants to leave on good terms with president Florentino Perez.

Ramos held his farewell media conference on Thursday.

On his relationship with Florentino, he stated: "When you buy the Sergio Ramos brand, it's Ramos with his virtues and his faults and I like to be me.

"My relationship with the president has been extraordinary, it's like father and son, I'll always be eternally grateful.

"He brought me to Real Madrid and I'm not going to make any statement against him, because in families there are also fights and everyone has to look after their own interests, but today I'll remember that hug we gave each other at the event.

"The misunderstandings are in the past. I don't want confrontations, but I'm going to tell the truth."
