Football - Juventus v Real Madrid - UEFA Champions League Semi Final First Leg - Juventus Stadium, Turin, Italy - 5/5/15 Juventus celebrate at the end

Acclaimed as one of the game's best centre-halves, Ramos looked like a fish out of water in the middle of the pitch in their 2-1 first leg defeat on Tuesday both defensively in front of the backline and most noticeably in building play.

"I am here to help the team wherever I can," Ramos told reporters.
