Spain star Pedri surpassed Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo’s record on Sunday by featuring in Spain’s Euro 2024 victory over Georgia in the last-16.
According to beIN SPORTS, Pedri set a new record for the most major tournament appearances by any European player aged 21 or under.
At 21 years and 218 days old, the Barcelona midfielder made his 13th appearance in a European Championship or World Cup during Spain’s Round of 16 match at Euro 2024.
This also marked the fourth time Pedri started in a Euros knockout stage match while aged 21 or under, the most for any player in this age group.
He surpassed Ronaldo’s record of 12 tournament appearances for Portugal before turning 22, achieved during Euro 2004 and the 2006 World Cup.
Pedri made his senior international debut at 18 in March 2021.
