Ramos Breaks Record
Ramos became Europe’s most capped male outfield player as Spain edged closer to Euro 2020 qualification with a 1-1 draw in Norway.
Ramos’ 168th cap also makes him Spain’s record appearance maker, surpassing goalkeeper Iker Casillas.
Saul Niguez’s dipping second-half effort was cancelled out by Josh King’s injury-time penalty to ruin Spain’s 100% record in Group F.
A draw in Sweden on Tuesday will secure Spain’s qualification.
“All that is personal is a little secondary,” said Ramos after the game.
“I would have happily traded this 168th cap for a victory. It was not the case. But this record is a great reward after so many years and it’s a great source of huge pride.
“I am emotional every time I put on this shirt. That will not change and I hope to continue doing so for many years.”
