When Sergio Ramos made his World Cup debut with Spain in 2006, the Golden Ball winner Andrei Shevchenko two years ago faced the Ukrainian legend who had been unable to find the net during his confrontation with Ramos, as Spain won 4-0.

This year, the two met again, as Shevchenko was responsible for the Ukrainian team and lost against Spain, led by Ramos 4-0, but in the European Nations League at Alfredo Di Stefano's stadium last month, Ramos scored two goals that boosted his great scoring record.
