Sergio Ramos is most likely going to miss both Champions League games against Liverpool, and there couldn't be worse news for Real Madrid.
The 35-year-old is not only their captain but also their best centre-back - and Los Blancos' record without him in the competition is just horrific.
Spanish football journalist Colin Millar has listed Madrid's 10 last Champions League games without Ramos. Here they are:
- CSKA Moscow 1-0 Real Madrid
- Real Madrid 0-3 CSKA Moscow
- Real Madrid 1-4 Ajax
- PSG 3-0 Real Madrid
- Club Brugge 1-3 Real Madrid
- Man City 2-1 Real Madrid
- Real Madrid 2-3 Shakhtar
- Inter 0-2 Real Madrid
- Shakhtar 2-0 Real Madrid
- Atalanta 0-1 Real Madrid
As you can see, the Spanish powerhouse suffered 7 defeats in those 10 matches, with the likes of CSKA Moscow and Shakhtar able to score 3 goals against them.
Liverpool, on the other hand, are seemingly on the upward trajectory, winning the last two games against RB Leipzig and Wolves - although Real Madrid should be a harder opponent even without Ramos.
