Football, that sport that gives us movie-like stories, has written a new chapter with the recent signing of Sergio Ramos by Rayados de Monterrey. The Spanish defender, legend of Real Madrid and the Spanish national team, has revolutionized the transfer market by announcing his arrival in Mexican football.
But beyond the surprise and expectation that his signing has generated, there is a detail that has moved the fans and that connects directly with the heart of Madridismo: the number he will wear on his shirt. Sergio Ramos, true to his history and his symbols, has chosen the number '93'.
A number with history
For Real Madrid fans, the number 93 is not just any number. It is the minute in which Sergio Ramos, in the 2014 Champions League final against Atlético de Madrid, scored a header that equalized the match and which, ultimately, would mean the Tenth European Cup for the white club.
That goal, agonizing and epic, was etched in the memory of all Madridistas. The 93rd minute became synonymous with hope, struggle and glory. And now, Sergio Ramos wanted to pay tribute to that magical moment by choosing 93 for his new stage in Monterrey.
A tribute to Madridismo
From the official Real Madrid account, they were quick to express their feelings about this choice: "Sergio Ramos will play for C.F. Monterrey. The number chosen by a legend of our Club: our minute 93. A tribute to all Madridismo, the memory of a moment that changed our history."
With these words, Real Madrid recognizes Sergio Ramos's gesture as a tribute to the fans, to history and to the moments of glory they experienced together. The '93' on Ramos's back in Monterrey will be a constant reminder of that goal that changed the course of a match and a final.
A wink to the future
But the choice of 93 is not only a tribute to the past, but also a wink to the future. Sergio Ramos arrives in Monterrey with the illusion of continuing to compete at the highest level and contributing his experience and leadership to a team that aspires to great things.
The '93' on his shirt will be a symbol that nothing is impossible, that until the last minute you can fight and achieve your goals. And who knows, maybe destiny has reserved for Sergio Ramos some other 93rd minute to continue writing his legend.
The impact on Mexican football
The arrival of Sergio Ramos to Liga MX has generated a great media and sporting impact. It is a top-level signing that reinforces the image of Mexican football and that excites the fans of Rayados and the entire country.
The presence of a player of the stature of Sergio Ramos in Mexican football is one more incentive to continue growing and improving. His experience and his quality will be an example for young footballers and an attraction for fans.
A new chapter in the legend of Sergio Ramos
With his signing for Rayados and his choice of the number 93, Sergio Ramos begins a new chapter in his legend. A chapter that, without a doubt, will be full of emotions, challenges and memorable moments.
The '93' that gave him glory in Madrid now accompanies him on his new adventure in Monterrey. A number that symbolizes his past, his present and his future. A number that will continue to make history.
