The defender rescued Los Blancos again in the 3-2 win over Deportivo La Coruna and his coach applauded his match-winning impact
Zinedine Zidane championed Sergio Ramos' undying belief after the centre back again saved Real Madrid with a late goal in Saturday's 3-2 win over Deportivo La Coruna.
Although Alvaro Morata's fine strike just after the break put Madrid ahead, Deportivo looked likely to come away with all three points when Joselu scored a quick fire double against his former team.
But Mariano Diaz levelled six minutes from the end and Ramos Madrid's last gasp saviour in El Clasico last week clinched the win in stoppage time, ensuring they set a new club record of 35 matches unbeaten.
'My players have incredible belief,' Zidane told reporters. 'We know that we can achieve great things together.
'Ramos is special. He is our captain; he's the soul of this team. Ramos has this undying belief that he can change things even in the last minute. He's incredible.
There are certain expectations placed upon us, they come with the shirt. The players gave their soul until the very end. We suffered, but we believed; it's amazing.'
A buoyant Ramos praised his team's character after they once again pulled a result from the jaws of defeat, maintaining their six point lead at the top of the table.
'We had many chances to score in the first half but didn't take them.
'It wasn't a great game for us and we need to improve on some aspects, but we showed character and we went for the win. We deserve this.
'I think if you keep trying until the very end and keep trying to change the outcome, this sort of thing can happen.'
