Natalia Ramos, a 27-year-old Spain international, has transferred from her hometown club Tenerife to Liverpool, joining the Women’s Super League (WSL). Ramos feels at home in Liverpool, thanks to Castro’s Cafeteria, where she enjoys familiar Canarian dishes. Her wife Silvia, who also moved to Liverpool, and the supportive fanbase have made the transition easier.

Ramos’ lively performances on the pitch have endeared her to Liverpool fans, with chants of “Vamos Ramos” becoming common. She celebrates her goals by pointing to the sky and honoring her grandmother, Pilar, who passed away when Ramos was young. Ramos’ family is proud of her achievements, including her recent call-up to the Spain national team.

The Ramos family, including Ramos’ parents and sister Noelia, are flying in from Tenerife, marking an emotional week for the island and club following the tragic death of Tenerife striker Jesus de Miguel. Ramos aims to maintain her level and increase it at Liverpool, focusing on hard work, discipline, and mental strength.
