In statements for the RG La Deportiva program, journalist Alex Llorente mentioned: "Monterrey is the perfect team for Sergio Ramos because here in Spain, Monterrey is like the Real Madrid of Mexico." He highlighted Ramos's relevance within Real Madrid and how his arrival has put Rayados on the international football map.
Additionally, during a broadcast of "El Partidazo de Cope," it was revealed that Sergio Ramos considers Rayados as the Real Madrid of Mexico, due to the three CONCACAF Champions League titles the club has won consecutively in 2011, 2012, and 2013. This feat has led Ramos himself to equate the achievements of Rayados with those obtained by Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League.
