Real Madrid star Sergio Ramos snapped naked with boots covering modesty as cringe-worthy old photos emerge

SERGIO RAMOS has been making quite a few of his own headlines just lately.

He's made the annual EA Sports FIFA best XI and been brutally trolled for wearing a blue outfit.

The Real Madrid centre-back also famously escaped a red card after blatantly slapping Luis Suarez's face.

And now a photoshoot with defunct Spanish magazine Interviu has re-emerged showing the daring youngster on its front cover... naked.

Ramos conducted the interview and posed for the pictures as an 18-year-old set for Real Madrid

In its day Interviu prided itself on its journalistic daring, boldness and investigative reports

It was also famous for the naked women who appeared on the cover.

KNOW WHERE ALEX-IS? Sanchez spotted for the first time in a week... but where?

The odd male also popped up, including the 18-year-old Ramos.

He was interviewed shortly before signing for Real Madrid from Sevilla.

"I'm very humble to be a galactic," he said.

He was pictured with a pair boots covering his modesty and he also posed sitting on the boots and a soccer shirt.

That was then, this is now.

Apart from telling former Real boss Jose Mourinho he was "just another coach," Ramos has been wearing a protective mask after suffering a broken nose.

He's allegedly rowed with Cristiano Ronaldo and controvserially dismissed Suarez's complaints after 'slap' as Real Madrid thrashed Barcelona in El Clasico.

Oh, and Ramos was left red-faced after being trolled on  for donning a ridiculous blue outfit to the Bernabeu.

Now he might find himself red-faced again when he considers hie bare-faced cheek 13 years on.
