Real Madrid captain Ramos not thinking of international retirement

Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos says international retirement isn't in his plans.

Ramos became Europe's most-capped footballer against Switzerland at the weekend by claiming his 177th cap.

"[I'll play] until the day my physique and head stop supporting me," Ramos said ahead of Spain's UEFA Nations League match against Germany. "As long as I continue to have the desire then I'll keep on coming."

Spain know that a win against the former world champions will confirm their place in the Nations League's final four.

"We're relying on ourselves," Ramos added. "We have to win against one of the favourites. It's a unique opportunity to show what we can do and where we want to go."
