The Real Madrid defender is desperate to be ready to take on Barcelona in the Clasico but Isthmian League side Thurrock wasn't ready for the wind to ruin the day.
Sometimes an own goal can be blamed on one player's dreadful mistake - and sometimes it can't. Non-league Thurrock got a nasty surprise when strong wind did all the work on taking Kamarl Duncan's touch into his own net against Romford.
Someone fighting for a little bit more control over his destiny than that is Sergio Ramos, who is desperate to prove his fitness in time to face Barcelona in the Clasico - seen here hard at work in the gym.
