Euro 2024 has proven to be a tournament of remarkable achievements, with several records etched into European Championship history.

Here’s a rundown of the standout milestones:

Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal:

Continuing his legacy, Cristiano Ronaldo has now participated in an unprecedented six European Championships, spanning an impressive career from 2004 to 2024.

Nedim Bajrami, Albania:

The tournament saw an electrifying start with Nedim Bajrami’s record-breaking goal just 23 seconds into a match, setting the pace for an exciting competition.

Pepe, Portugal:

Setting a new benchmark for longevity, Pepe, aged 41, became the oldest player to grace the European Championship stage, showcasing experience and skill throughout the tournament.

Luka Modric, Croatia:

Another age-defying achievement came from Luka Modric, who, at 38 years old, became the oldest player to score in Euro history, adding to his illustrious career.

Lamine Yamal, Spain:

At just 16 years old, Lamine Yamal has become the youngest player and scorer ever in the European Championship, marking a historic debut for Spain.

Meanwhile, Spain and England will face each other on Sunday in the European Cup final in Berlin, with much of the focus on a teenage prodigy and whether one of the world's most underachieving teams can end its decades-long wait for a title.

Spain is aiming to clinch their fourth Euro title, which would set a new record, surpassing Germany/West Germany's tally. Their last triumph was in 2012, and they are pinning their hopes on rising star winger Lamine Yamal, who celebrated his 17th birthday recently.

Defenders Dani Carvajal and Robin Le Normand rejoined Spain's starting lineup following suspensions, with Yamal forming part of the front three. Meanwhile, England made a solitary change, with Luke Shaw returning at left-back, replacing Kieran Trippier, marking his first start for club or country since February.
