Sergio Ramos' influence in Real Madrid's recent triumphs needs to be analyzed in every way possible, as the center back once again cleared the air for Los Blancos with another life-saving header.
The Spanish captain sent a couple of headers into the back of the net, but UEFA decided to strip him from a brace moments after the game ended, as Dries Mertens deflected the ball that was headed to Pepe Reina's goal.
