The captain is the only member of the squad who can lay claim to this record.Sergio Ramos is a mainstay of the Real Madrid starting XI and has been for the past seven seasons, in which he has always commanded a place in the line-up for the team's LaLiga opener, a record held by no other member of the current squad. The side's undisputed defensive linchpin and the team's leader, Ramos is embarking on a new campaign that's full of challenges.
