Oh, how Manchester United could have done with Sergio Ramos and not Danny Blind alongside Chris Smalling last year. At least that was the (ludicrously ambitious) plan.

Ramos ended up staying at Real Madrid, scored in the Champions League final (again) against Atletico (again) and lifted the trophy.

He is now embarking on his 12th season at the club and should probably be regarded as one of the finest defenders to have donned the famous white shirt. Not bad for a player who, for years, was chastised for his apparent inability to defend.

It was another top season for the Real Madrid captain, thriving under the new-found responsibility with Iker Casillas having waved his goodbyes for pastures new in Portugal.

It didn't quite happen for him at Euro 2016, as Spain realised a little too late that they had entered the tournament with their heads in the past, but he will count last season as a success following a second Champions League medal to call his own.
