July 2: Monterrey lost to Dortmund 1-2 in the Club World Cup One Eighth Finals. After the game, Monterrey defender and former Real Madrid captain Ramos was interviewed by the media.

"We performed well today, which is more important than anything else. The audience, our fans and those who know the ball have seen it. Our team has done everything for this game and put it forward as they should. Sometimes it is smooth sailing on the football field, and sometimes even if we lose, we have to leave with pride, because we played great games from the first minute to the last minute."

"We have a clear conscience and are relieved. Sometimes things won't be as you wish. We created several opportunities but failed to translate into goals like our opponents, but I think fans will be proud of the way we defend our jerseys, and we have to move forward. Although we were eliminated, this will help us become stronger in the future."
