Ramos, 30, who's side take on Napoli in the Champions League tonight, said: "Believe me when I say that the thought of changing my jersey number to 93 has crossed my mind.

"At the same time, the number four is one that I have always liked and that I have worn throughout all of my time at Real Madrid. It has nearly always brought me good luck.

"But do not rule out seeing me change my number in my final season, as a tribute to what is such a great minute for us.

"The Decima goal stands out above the rest of my goals, given how long we had been waiting to win the Champions League, with it coming in the last minute and because it helped us to go on and become champions."

While Ramos insists his current No4 jersey has always brought him luck, the centre-back had no issue in swapping it for a pack of PORK.

The Real captain responded a a fan who bizarrely arrived at the Bernabeu for this month's game against Real Sociedad, carrying a sign saying: "Sergio, if you give me your shirt, I’ll give you a tray of pork in lard."

Ramos threw his shirt at the supporter, who in return handed him a package of meat.
