Watch: Ramos nearly decapitated by tree branch during Champions League parade

Sergio Ramos has enjoyed quite a memorable last 48 hours.

The Real Madrid captain scored his side's only goal in normal time during Saturday's Champions League final against Atletico, slotted home his penalty in the eventual 5-3 shootout win, was named man of the match, and got to hoist Los Blancos' 11th European Cup surrounded by his joyous teammates.

The universe dictated that something needed to bring him back down to Earth. That something was (nearly) a tree branch, as Ramos got out of the way just in time to avoid being smacked in the face while riding atop the club's bus during Sunday's victory parade.
