Sergio Ramos equalled Iker Casillas' record of 167 international appearances for Spain on Sunday as he started their Euro 2020 qualifier against the Faroe Islands in Gijon.
The Real Madrid centre-back made his international debut 14 years ago in a friendly against China.
"It's a difficult challenge to have matched him (Casillas)," said Ramos. "It's a prize and a joy. It's years of effort."
"I hope there are many more. We have experienced great moments with the Spanish team."
