In an interview with GQ magazine, Sergio Ramos reflected on his past through a feature by Accor Hotels. The feature recreated his childhood room at the ibis Styles Sevilla City Santa Justa hotel. This memory-filled space allowed the former Real Madrid player to step away from the pitch and showcase a different side of himself.

Ramos looked through items from his childhood while highlighting family photographs. He admitted: "Family has always been one of the pillars of my life and career." He firmly believed that the support of his loved ones brought stability throughout his professional journey.

One of the most personal moments of the conversation came when he spoke about his children and the differences between the childhood he experienced and the one his children enjoy today. He explained: "They don't understand how I grew up, just as they don't understand how they live now."

"We were an ordinary family. We never lacked food," Ramos recalled. He also acknowledged that his current circumstances allow him to provide opportunities to his children that he didn't have during his childhood.

However, the player hopes his children remain grounded and understand the value of things. He said: "I don't want them to forget where we came from." In his view, education should be built on respect, the effort and dedication required to achieve goals.

The recreated room also brought back some childhood hobbies. Ramos particularly recalled playing with Playmobil figures, footballs, and friends on the streets. It was a childhood very different from today, with far less technology present.

The Sevilla-born player also spoke about his love for karate, which helped build his confidence, and ultimately his decision to pursue football instead. He admitted he was good at tennis too, but at age 11, he chose football alone.

Flamenco music was also an important part of his family's story. Growing up listening to songs by Camarón, Niña Pastori, and Remedios Amaya, Ramos considered this tradition part of his identity and a heritage he wishes to pass on to his children.

While the interview focused primarily on his personal life, Ramos also recalled some of the most important moments of his career. If he could choose just one photograph to represent his football career, he would unhesitatingly choose the goal he scored against Atlético Madrid in the 2014 Champions League final—the famous Lisbon goal.

"I would keep the photograph of the Lisbon goal. Because I believe that image encapsulates my entire football career," he explained. The goal he headed in at the 93rd minute earned Real Madrid a draw and eventually allowed them to win their tenth Champions League title.

Though he has won all these trophies, Ramos noted that only one would remain in this room, as every victory reminds him of the effort behind it.

If he could change anything in this recreated childhood space, Ramos' answer was clear. He would add photographs of his wife and children. "The most important thing in life is family," he concluded, making it clear that beyond his sporting achievements, his roots and loved ones have always held the central place in his life.
