Sergio Ramos has left Mexican elite division side Monterrey after their final game of the season.

Monterrey fell to a 3-2 defeat to Toluca in the semi-finals of the Liga MX playoffs, and the former Real Madrid and Spain centre-back has confirmed that he has played his final game for the club.

Nevertheless, he disclosed he has no plans to call time on his playing career.

"I made it very clear last week. Obviously, yes - this is my last game," said Ramos.

"Losing a semi-final always hurts, especially when you fall just short of a final.

"There’s a lot to assess. We practically gave away the first half. We lacked intensity, rhythm, personality, and control of the ball. 

“You can lose - football works that way - but if you lose, it should be by playing like we did in the second half, not the first, which we gifted to them."

During his time at Monterrey, Ramos made 32 competitive appearances in 2025, scoring seven goals and getting sent off once.
