“At one point I swore I would become the best footballer in the world, and straight after that I considered never playing professional football again.
But I didn’t have a whole range of options in life… The only chance I had to make something of my life, to escape our very basic existence, was to become a footballer.”
"The former German international was in the prime of his career at Madrid but still had a furious bust-up with Mourinho. After hearing the row, Ramos opted to wear Ozil's shirt beneath his own and planned to unveil it if he scored, per Marca." —sport bible
"It was visible to see through Ramos' shirt so if he wanted to be subtle about it, then he wasn't. But I appreciated the support of Sergio Ramos, who took my shirt and put it under his. My number '10' was visible on his back."
—Mesut Özil
in light of özil's retirement i thought id like to celebrate their beautiful friendship that is never talked about enough!!
