Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos says the sale of Critiano Ronaldo to Juventus was a loss for all involved.

Real Madrid have missed an out-and-out goalscorer ever since Ronaldo left the club in 2018, which is a departure that Ramos laments.

"Cris lost and Madrid lost [when he left]. I wouldn't have let him leave because he is one of the best and he would have brought us closer to winning [big trophies]," the defender said.

"These are relationships that have to be for life, it has to be a team fusion.

"He is a decisive player who helped us win."
