Carlo Ancelotti’s decision to deploy the defender Sergio Ramos in central midfield was the key to Real Madrid’s 1-0 Champions league victory over Atlético Madrid, according to Real’s captain, Iker Casillas. Ramos, who normally plays as a centre-back, was in the thick of the action throughout the quater final secon leg before Javier Hernández struck two minutes from time to send Real through to the semi-finals for a fifth straight season.
Ramos helped Real dominate the midfield, an area in which they had struggled against Atlético in recent encounters, and it was their first win over their rivals in eight meetings since last season’s Champions League final.
