Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos claims that those who play for the La Liga giants are expected to fight until the end for the club.
Real managed to squeeze past Deportivo La Coruna, having fallen behind to a Joselu brace after Alvaro Morata had given the league leaders the advantage.Mariano Diaz managed to level things up before Ramos scored an injury-time winner.
Speaking toReal Madrid's official club website, Ramos claimed his side's never-say-die attitude earned Zinedine Zidane's side all three points.
"When you fight until the death and believe in yourself and play with enthusiasm, ultimately things end up going for you," Ramos said.
"In the first half we had the chances to have got in front and then we left gaps at the back and they made the most of those on the counter.
"Historically, our spirit and this badge mean we have a duty to fight right to the end and thanks to a fantastic cross from [Toni] Kroos, I was able to add another goal to my tally.
"It's important to have that spirit and to compete until the last ball. The team was able to produce a reaction, take the three points and continue at the top of the table, and it was vital to close out the year in this manner."
Ramos now has four goals in La Liga, an impressive haul for a centre-back, and has turned his attention to Real's participation in the Club World Cup.
"We've met our target, which was to pick up the three points in our final La Liga game of the year. Now it's time to go and enjoy the Club World Cup.
"On a personal note, I'm happy to continue helping the team with goals and on a collective level I'm pleased that we go marching on."
