Beckham has been a constant threat throughout his career from corners, crosses and dead-ball situations, and Ramos feels the former England captain has few peers in this aspect of the game.

Ramos has scored twice from pinpoint Beckham crosses in Madrid's last three games, and the 21-year-old admits he will not be the only one sorry to see that particular supply line disappear when the midfielder departs for America this summer.

"Not only me, we are all going to miss him because David is very popular with the fans and in the changing room," Ramos said.

"Nobody else has Beckham's touch on the ball, and he helps all of us, defenders and attackers, in dead-ball plays."

The former England captain, who is set to serve a one-match suspension against Espanyol this weekend after picking up a yellow card in Sunday's 3-2 win over Sevilla, will leave Spain after four years at Madrid to join the Los Angeles Galaxy in the MLS.
