Sergio Ramos has insisted that he is at peace with his omission from Spain’s Euro 2020 squad after a “f cked up few months” at Real Madrid.
Luis Enrique named his final 24-man squad for this summer’s European Championship yesterday with Ramos the most notable absentee given his status as the national team captain.
Barcelona’s Sergio Busquets will be taking up leadership duties for La Roja instead of the 35-year-old, who has conceded that he is not physically ready to participate in a major tournament.
Ramos endured an injury-plagued 2020-21 campaign at Real which saw him restricted to just 21 appearances across all competitions, and has only started two games since undergoing knee surgery in January.

Karim Benzema scored a late equaliser as Real Madrid prevented city rivals Atletico Madrid from moving five points clear at the top of La Liga.
France striker Benzema was earlier denied several times by keeper Jan Oblak at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Luis Suarez scored the opener, which Kieran Trippier helped create on his return from a 10-week ban for betting.
Atletico are three points clear of Barcelona and five ahead of third-placed Real.
England right-back Trippier, who was suspended in December and fined £70,000 after a Football Association panel found he broke betting rules, was bright throughout for the hosts.
