Sergio Ramos Absolutely Nails Joao Felix During Madrid Derby

Sergio Ramos gave Joao Felix a warm welcome to the Madrid derby in typically aggressive style.

The Real Madrid captain wasted no time in clattering Atletico Madrid's phenom, who was making his Madrid derby debut following his summer switch from Benfica.

In just the fifth minute of the game, Ramos nailed Felix who fell to the floor, which didn't go down well with the Spanish defender who gestured him to get up before remonstrating with the referee.
