With new signing sessions that arrive in the transfer star of January, a surprising old rivalry could have a reboot.
Monterrey's Rayados have officially signed Sergio Ramos and added a player in the world class to their formidable team – a whose enviable CV comprises several club titles, awarded by two euros and one world cup.
With his arrival in Mexican football, Ramos was once again confronted with an ultimate rival in regional matches – Lionel Messi. The Argentinian is the player with whom he is the most confronted during his career, and if the circumstances allow it, both the Concacaf Champions Cup and the League Cup can offer a few matchups. Let us not forget that they were also teammates in Paris.
When can Messi and Ramos face each other?
Messi and Inter Miami will participate in both tournaments, just like the Rayados. The brackets are set up in the Concacaf Champions Cup to possibly deliver a club collision in the semi -final.
To make this happen, Inter Miami must first beat Sporting Kansas City to get a place in the round of 16, where they would be confronted with Cavalier. If they have the upper hand, they would have to overcome another bracket with Columbus versus Lafc/Colorado to finally stand in line for a possible matchup-on condition that Monterrey also does against Vancouver or Saprissa after winning a victory In the first round in Forge and rises from the round of 16, then overcoming Lad / Pumas or Cavalerie.
A confrontation is also possible in the Leagues Cup, although we have to wait for the draw to determine the future paths of both clubs.
Ramos and Messi repeatedly clashed in Laliga, while representing Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively, with the head-to-head record that promotes the Barcelona star-19 victories for him, 16 for Ramos and nine treks.
A reunion with James Rodriguez
Liga MX has also arranged a reunion with James Rodríguez, who arrived in León at the start of the season, although this time they are confronted as opponents. Rodríguez and Ramos were teammates in the Merengue Club from 2015 to 2020, where they shared the field 91 times and lifted nine titles. They also met twice as opponents when the Colombian was in Bayern Munich, with Ramos who prevailed – deserved one win and one draw in the series.
The collision between the Rayados and León is planned for MatchDay 17 of Clausura 2015 in the House of La Fiera on April 20.
