WATCH: Sergio Ramos shows his caring side with wonderful gesture to disabled, young refugee

Class act, through and through

Darragh Murphy

Sergio Ramos is an absolute gentleman.

The Real Madrid captain might have a reputation for tough-tackling on the pitch but, at his core, he’s got a heart of gold.

Ramos, and Sevilla captain Vicente Iborra, guided two disabled, young refugees out to the rain-soaked Lerkendal Stadium pitch on Tuesday ahead of their Uefa Super Cup final.

The weather conditions in Norway were unfavourable to say the least and Ramos noticed that the mascot behind whom he was standing was not covered properly from the rain that was pelting down.

The Spanish centre-half didn’t hesitate to take off his jacket and drape it across the youngster as if it were a blanket.

Yesterday, the two brave children were given the chance to meet some of their footballing heroes before they proudly led both teams out to the playing surface on Tuesday.

What courage!
