Along with the recently acquired Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, Real Madrid were expected to be the favorite to win the league title, but failed to do so. With a new manager for the 2010 campaign, Real Madrid played to expectations, taking home the Copa del Rey.
For the 2010 World Cup, Ramos played every minute of the tournament, leading the team to victory over the Netherlands, 1-0, in the final. In his following Real Madrid season, the new world champion led his team to the La Liga championship title. At this point, Ramos was hailed as one of the best defenders in all of professional soccer.
