Sergio Ramos grateful to 20,000 Sevilla fans for welcome back

Over 20,000 fans attended Sergio Ramos' Sevilla presentation yesterday.

The support brought the former Real Madrid and Spain captain to tears.

He told the fans in attendance, "I have spent half my life in Seville and Madrid, my heart is cut in half, and I hope you receive me with the same affection that I have for you."

On rivals Betis, Ramos enjoyed firing a barb.

"The only team I could have stayed in Spain with was Sevilla. Betis is implantable. We must thank Joaquín for his farewell. The beauty of soccer is that it works for me and to recognise the players of the house.

"There is no comparison, if we compare our fans and that of Betis… I would paint myself red. We have a much better support, although I am grateful."
