There are a few certain things in life. One of them is death, the other one is taxes. But we can surely add one more when we talk about Sergio Ramos' ability to score late goals for Real Madrid.
Ever since he scored that equalizer against Atlético in 2014, Ramos has emerged as the go-to guy for Los Blancos when time is running out. He was influential for Real Madrid's UEFA Super Cup win with another late goal, and he saved Zinedine Zidane's unbeaten streak with Los Blancos with one more header.
Ramos scored his 75th goal today, and his timing couldn't have been better, as Real Madrid can still sleep six points ahead of Barcelona in La Liga's title race. This was his fourth El Clásico goal, and curiously enough, he's scored all of them with his head.
Have a look at what fans had to say after his late goal.

If "clutch" could define players, one of them would be Sergio Ramos. The man loves a dramatic late goal. Incredible leader.

Sergio Ramos probably has a contract that he’s only paid for headers after the 88th minute.

Even former footballers stepped up and praised the center back.
