In a truly shocking moment that immediately went viral across the Middle East, Paris Saint-Germain star Sergio Ramos let his emotions get the better of him as he violently shoved away a photographer after his team lost 0-1 to Bayern Munich.
In the video, which you can watch below, photographers are following other PSG stars such as Lionel Messi and Neymar Jr, walking backwards as they take photos. One of them accidentally bumps into Ramos, who then immediately gets angry and shoves an entirely different photographer from the one who bumped into him.

The video has been particularly viral in the Middle East, with “Ramos” trending #1 on Google Searches on Wednesday, above literally everything else on earth.
“What is wrong with Ramos!” one fan decried n Twitter.
“This from Sergio Ramos is so disrespectful” said another.

Some fans speculated that this was really about the fact that the Spanish player has not been a focal point at Paris Saint-Germain since he joined after playing for Real Madrid for 16 seasons, where he was incredibly popular and successful, winning four UEFA Champions League titles and the 2010 FIFA World Cup for Spain in the middle.
Ramos has had a legendary career, named La Liga’s Best Defender for a record five times before he joined Ligue 1 in 2021 on a free transfer.
“Fact: PSG was in UCL finals before Messi. After they signed him, they are constantly out of the race. PSG is focused on pampering Messi. media won’t talk abt it since they all protect Messi,” a user said. “They don’t respect him… see the photographers concentrating on Messi and Neymar. They did nothing in the match,” said one Twitter user.
Some speculation has continued that he will be following his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo to Saudi Arabia. Perhaps with such acrimony building in Paris, this could be happening sooner rather than later.
Time will tell. But in the mean time, the man is going to have to get his emotions in check!
Have a great day everyone! But be careful when walking backwards, certain players may be in a bad mood!
