Euro 2024: Pedri surpasses Ronaldo’s record

The record held by Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo was exceeded on Sunday by Spain’s Pedri, who played a part in his team’s triumph over Georgia in the Euro 2024 semifinals.

Pedri broke Ronaldo’s record for the most major tournament appearances by a European player under the age of twenty-one, according to beIN SPORTS.

The Barcelona player, who is 21 years and 218 days old, played in his 13th World Cup or European Championship during Spain’s Round of 16 match against Georgia at Euro 2024.

Pedri has started the most games of any player under the age of twenty-one (four) during the Euros knockout stages.

He surpassed Ronaldo’s record of 12 tournament appearances for Portugal before turning 22 as a result, having played in both the 2006 World Cup and Euro 2004.

In March 2021, at the age of eighteen, Pedri debuted on the senior international scene.
