El Matador - Sergio Ramos

Many Blancos players have had their say over Iker Casillas continually being benched, Pepe backing the club captain and Jose Mourinho's subsequent backlash against both his charges in the past week.

However, the Spain defender is fed up of all the verbal sparring in the media between the players and has called for everybody to put their egos aside and sort out their differences once the current campaign is over.

"Maybe it's time to put an end to the controversies, to put a stop to the squabbling over Iker, Pepe and Mourinho," he told reporters at the Madrid Open, where he watched Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal beat Mikhail Youzhny 6-2 6-3 in the third round.

"What we need to do is look for unity within the team. It's time to stop thinking about our own egos and think about the final. After the final of the Copa [is the time for people] to sort everything out."

Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos has declared: "Yes, I have a different point of view from Florentino Perez, the same differences that you can have with a father, something to solve inside the family. It has nothing to do with money of with the new contract, I have three more years on my deal with Real".

Sergio Ramos has admitted that he would rather win La Decima with Real Madrid than another World Cup.

Los Blancos were drawn with Borussia Dortmund for the Champions League quarter-finals this afternoon, as the capital club look to win their 10th European Cup.

And the defender has conceded that, given the choice, he would prefer a club triumph than lifting the title with Spain in the summer.

“I’ve got a tattoo of the World Cup but not the European Cup,” he told La Cope.

“Right now, I'd rather win 'La Décima' than the World Cup. If I manage to win both, I might mention it to those who have criticized me.”

The Roja international then commented on the Clasico against Barcelona this weekend, praising the Catalan outfit.

“Barcelona are having a fantastic season - maybe people have become accustomed to seeing them up there but it’s unusual to have three teams in the title race and with the amount of points we have at this stage of the campaign.”

Ramos concluded by remarking on some of his teammates at Santiago Bernabeu.

“Pepe has learned from his mistakes and he’s matured. Both of us have made mistakes.

“The Press makes out that we are both violent players but we just get on with it. Every team has to defend as they know how.

“Casillas is a great captain – both for the national team and Madrid. I’m the deputy captain and both us have different duties within the dressing room.

“I’ve known a few captains who are leaders and others who aren’t – he’s a leader.

“I have a great friendship with Cristiano. When a team mate has a problem, you have to help them and take care of them. Whenever I have had problems, he has worried about me and looked out for me.”
