'His goals inspired me and so did his hair' - Ramos meets idol Caniggia

They say you should never meet your heroes, but the Real Madrid skipper appeared delighted to run into the Argentine at the Santiago Bernabeu

As if beating Napoli 3-1 at home in the Champions League was not enough of a treat, Real Madrid star Sergio Ramos had the pleasure of meeting one of his heroes on Wednesday.

Ramos captained Madrid to a comprehensive victory in the first leg of the round-of-16 tie against Serie A opposition, the result putting the holders in position to advance to the quarter-finals.

Karim Benzema, Toni Kroos and Casemiro were the men on target for the hosts at Santiago Bernabeu, responding to Lorenzo Insigne's opportunistic early opener.
