The Spanish center back left the pitch after 76 minutes, but the reason for his absence was revealed later.

Real Madrid's 2-1 win against Eibar took place with a curious incident, as Sergio Ramos had to leave the pitch for over four minutes.

The cause for his absence had nothing to do with him being injured or due to a problem with his kit. The reason for Ramos' 4-minute absence was caused by...digestive problems.

The player rushed back to the toilet when one of Eibar's men was being taken care of on the pitch to relieve himself, spending over 4 minutes there. The team's delegate, Chendo, had to go to the locker room to know what was going on, and Zidane clarified the situation during his post-match presser.

"Well, he needed to go 'number 2', he was about to go at it on the pitch," Zidane said while laughing.

Real Madrid's captain later revealed the situation on social media.
