Ramos equals Casillas' Spain appearances record Spain With his start vs the Faroe Islands

Sergio Ramos is making history once again as Spain take on minnows the Faroe Islands in Asturias.

Ramos has participated in more winning matches for his country than anyone in history and, against the Faroe Islands, he is equalling the amount of caps won by the great Iker Casillas.

The Real Madrid defender's 167th cap is the joint-most for Spain and is nine off Gianluigi Buffon's European record, and 17 away from world record-holder Ahmed Hassan.

But Ramos won't stop there. Having scored 21 goals for Spain, and eight since the 2018 World Cup in Russia, he could equal the record of the most prolific international defender of all time.

The Argentine Daniel Alberto Passarella hit the back of the net 22 times for his country in 70 games.

His compatriots were quick to praise the Real Madrid star's impact for La Roja over the years, with central midfielder Sergio Busquets labelling his achievements as "brutal", whilst Spain head coach Robert Moreno stated that "every day he surprises me more as a person".
