'Real Madrid can catch Barcelona', declares Ramos after Atletico win

Sergio Ramos insists Real Madrid can catch Barcelona in La Liga after a 3-1 derby win at Atletico Madrid moved his side up to second in the table.

Ramos scored from the penalty spot in Saturday's victory at the Wanda Metropolitano, netting his 11th goal in all competitions this season, making 2018-19 the best scoring record of his career.

Antoine Griezmann had cancelled out Casemiro's bicycle-kick opener before Ramos struck from 12 yards, with Gareth Bale's 100th goal for Madrid wrapping up the club’s first win at the Wanda.
