Portugal midfielder Renato Sanches has
broken Cristiano Ronaldo’s record as the youngest-ever player to feature in a
European Championship final after being named in the starting lineup against
France on Sunday.
At
18 years and 327 days, the Bayern Munich man is nearly a year younger than
Ronaldo was when Portugal faced Greece in the Euro 2004 decider.
Earlier
in the tournament, the former Benfica star also became the youngest player to
play for the Portuguese national team at a major tournament — another record
that was once held by Ronaldo.
Sanches
has marked his historic tournament run with a number of fine performances,
which included the equalising goal in the quarterfinal against Poland.
