Former Manchester talent Largie Ramazani stunned Real Madrid today, scoring in the first minute for Almeria at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Earlier this month, we looked at Almeria’s situation after signing three former Manchester United talents.
Largie Ramazani, Arnau Puigmal and Martin Svidersky all left United for Almeria, heading to Spain in consecutive years between 2020 and 2022.
Almeria have been enduring a nightmare this season, sitting bottom of the La Liga table and staring relegation in the face with no wins all season.
Nobody expected Almeria to cause any problems for Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu today, but Ramazani had other ideas…
Former Manchester United talent Largie Ramazani stuns Real Madrid
Almeria made a rapid start against Real with Ramazani finding the back of the net after just 38 seconds.
Real gave possession away inside their own half and Almeria moved quickly, finding Ramazani on the left flank to slot past Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Ramazani channeled his inner Julius Aghahowa with somersaults to celebrate this goal, leaving the Bernabeu in a state of stunned silence.
The Belgian joined the United youth ranks from Charlton Athletic in 2017 but chose to reject a new deal and leave the club in 2020.
A tricky winger with an eye for goal, the 22-year-old has largely impressed for Almeria, particularly impressing in a promotion-winning 2021-22 campaign.
That was Ramazani’s third goal of the season and Almeria then stunned Real again with Edgar Gonzalez smashing home a stunning volley.
Almeria went into half-time 2-0 up and moving towards a truly unbelievable first win of the season against all odds.
Don’t be surprised to see Ramazani back in English football
Ramazani may be part of a struggling Almeria side but he has attracted interest in recent times.
Crystal Palace fancied signing Ramazani last summer and will surely still have one him on their radar for a 2024 transfer.
United target Michael Olise could leave Palace and Ramazani may well be eyed up as a winger who could come in without breaking the bank.
Today’s goal against Real showed the talent Ramazani possesses, it’s all about putting it together and becoming a consistent threat.
If Ramazani can do that, don’t be surprised to see Ramazani in action against United one day down the line.
