Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos has laughed
off Antoine Griezmann's Ballon d'Or claims after
the Atletico Madrid forward compared himself to
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.


Griezmann said he is "at the top" in football and
asked whether he was dining at the same table as
Messi, he said: "Yes, I think so."


Ramos hit back, and told Griezmann he needs to
learn from his senior teammates and coach.
"Ignorance makes you very bold," Ramos told a
news conference ahead of Real Madrid's
Champions League opener against Roma.


"When I hear this guy talk, I think of the likes of
Totti, Buffon, Maldini, Raul, Xavi, Iniesta, Iker,
they've won a lot of titles at home and none of
them won a Ballon d'Or.


"Everyone's free to give their opinion. He needs
to be advised by [Diego Simeone], [Diego] Godin,
Koke and players like this and to get back to the
values that suit them."


Real Madrid, who beat Liverpool 3-1 in May for a
third Champions League trophy in a row, embark
on their title defence without Cristiano Ronaldo.
Madrid's all-time leading scorer left for Juventus
in the summer while Zinedine Zidane,
mastermind of those three triumphs, stepped
down.


"He marked a marvellous period for Real Madrid
and he shattered practically all of the records
here, but that's in the past," Ramos said. "We
can't live on what Cristiano did in the past. The
hole he left is very big but it's covered by others
players with a lot of ambition and desire and we
have a big squad to compete. We wish him the
best, as always.


"He gave us a lot and took very little away. He
was very direct, had lots of goals in him and we
played more on the counter. Now, we have to
adapt to another style. We have more
possession and another way to hurt our
opponents and that is what we have to exploit."
Madrid coach Julen Lopetegui refused to
confirm his first choice goalkeeper for the
Champions League, after summer signing
Thibaut Courtois' arrival from Chelsea.


Keylor Navas kept goal for Madrid's three
Champions League successes in a row and
started the first three matches of the season
before Courtois replaced him for win against
Leganes and 1-1 draw against Athletic Bilbao.


"I'll say it again but we have magnificent solution
in goals," Lopetegui said. "I'm not going to say
anything regarding who will start."
