Ramos equals Casillas record with 167th appearance for Spain

Sergio Ramos has joined former club and international team-mate Iker Casillas as Spain's all-time record appearance maker.

The centre-back made his 167th appearance for Spain on Sunday, pulling level with the side's legendary goalkeeper as he earned a start against the Faroe Islands in a Euro 2020 qualifying match.

Manager Robert Moreno made nine changes from the 2-1 win over Romania, with Ramos and forward Rodrigo Moreno the only survivors from Thursday's game.
