In 2017, Real Madrid had a phenomenal year, dominating both Spain and Europe under coach Zinedine Zidane, capturing five trophies, including the Champions League with Cristiano Ronaldo as the big figure. Among the stars of that team was a young talent on the verge of breaking records, who now faces a very different reality.
At just 16 years old, Moha Ramos earned a spot on the first team due to injuries to Keylor Navas and Luca Zidane. He was on the bench for 10 matches across various competitions like the Club World Cup and the Champions League. If Kiko Casilla had been unavailable, Ramos might have become the youngest goalkeeper in Real Madridās history.
However, his career trajectory took a downturn, leading him to lower divisions and now, prison. The former Real Madrid academy player was arrested in Lanzarote, where he was set to play his next match with Tenerife B. The Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands reported that the Penal Court No. 7 made the decision to incarcerate him.
Now 24, Ramos was sentenced for drunk driving and two counts of causing injury. His imprisonment comes after the revocation of a suspended sentence due to his failure to appear at a court summons in Madrid.

Moha Ramosā career post-Real Madrid
After leaving Real Madrid, the Spanish goalkeeper sought playing time first in Birmingham in 2019 but did not find the spotlight needed to propel his career. He returned to Spain, playing for Real UniĆ³n, Racing de Santander, and Real AvilĆ©s. Ramos then moved to Las Palmas B and currently plays for Tenerifeās second team, although he has yet to make his debut in LaLiga.
