On Tuesday, Paris Saint Germain unsurprisingly emerged victorious by hosting Juventus at the Parc des Princes on the opening day of the Champions League. Kylian Mbappé scored two fabulous goals in the first half, while Weston McKennie scored a consolation goal for the Bianconeri.
However, one of the highlights of the night was a brawl between veteran PSG defender Sergio Ramos and new Juventus midfielder Leandro Paredes. This incident came as a surprise considering that the two players had been teammates a week ago.
After the match, Italian international Marco Verratti revealed that the two often butted heads in training sessions.
For his part, Ramos has now come out to explain that his is only part of his job. The notorious defender says that he is willing to kill for his teammates during the match. However, it all ends with the final whistle.
“These are fights that happen on the pitch and they have to stay there,” said the Real Madrid legend in an interview with TNT Sports through ItaSportPress.
“In the end, everyone has to defend their own interests. When the final whistle blows, you shake hands with your opponent and that’s it.
“But during the match, you have to be ready to kill for your teammates. There is nothing personal with anyone.”
