Spanish football star Sergio Ramos announced his departure from Mexican club Monterrey after his team lost to Toluca 3-2 in the league semi-final, which prevented them from qualifying for the final this season. Ramos' contract with the club ends at the conclusion of the current season.

Ramos said in statements after the match: "It is clear that this match is my last with Monterrey. We feel sad but with a clear conscience, as we know we gave our best effort on the field. We have to learn, get back up, and realize that this is also part of football. The biggest disappointment is our inability to give the fans another final, as they deserve it. Thank you always for your support."

Ramos scored a goal in his last match with Monterrey, concluding his journey with the team after participating in 25 matches this season, scoring 4 goals.

Ramos had joined Monterrey on a free transfer at the beginning of the season after leaving Sevilla, adding extensive experience to the Mexican team during his time there.
