Ramos returned to the heart of the defence for Euro 2012.
When asked about his role change, he replied: “I have adapted and feel comfortable in the middle, but I am a World and European champion at right-back.”
He played all the games in Poland and Ukraine alongside Barcelona's Gerard Piqué and, in the semi-finals against Portugal, he converted his penalty shootout attempt in an eventual 4–2 win (0–0 after 120 minutes), scoring for the eventual champions in Panenka-style.
On 1 July, Ramos won his third trophy with the Spanish senior National Team as they thrashed Italy 4–0 in the Final.
Ramos' performances during the Euro earned him a place in the Team of The Tournament.
Ramos wore another T-shirt during Spain's Euro 2012 celebrations to pay homage to his late friend Puerta.
