Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos has rubbished reports that there is a rift between him and team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo.

This week there have been claims in the Spanish media that the pair no longer see eye-to-eye, following a series of dressing room disagreements.

Ronaldo’s very public questioning of Real’s transfer policy is said to have annoyed Ramos, while it was rumoured Ronaldo was left annoyed by his captain’s desire to see Neymar quit PSG for the Bernabéu.

However, Ramos has moved to publicly rubbish any talk of a rift between the pair.

Ramos told TVE: “Nothing has ever happened between him and me.

“There has always been a great friendship between us.

“We have a lot of personality and have some different opinions, but we're pulling in the same direction.”

Real Madrid have made a slow start to the new season, and currently sit fourth in La Liga after fourteen matches, eight points behind Barcelona.
