Pedri s own goal for Spain in Monday s last-16 tie with Croatia was the ninth scored at Euro 2020 – as many as seen in each of the previous editions combined.
The Spain midfielder played a pass back to goalkeeper Unai Simon from close to the halfway line and his team-mate failed to control the ball, allowing it to roll beyond him and into the net.
The own goal was initially credited to Simon before going to Pedri – in the same game the Barcelona talent became the youngest player to start a knockout game in the European Championships.
At 18 years and 215 days, he beats the record set by England s Wayne Rooney (18 years and 244 days) against Portugal in 2004.
Pedri joins Merih Demiral, Wojciech Szczesny, Mats Hummels, Ruben Dias, Raphael Guerreiro, L…
The Czech Republic and Portugal get the European Championship quarter-finals underway at the National Stadium in Warsaw on Thursday.
In what will be a repeat of the Euro 96 last-eight clash, where the Czechs prevailed and progressed to the final, both nations suffered defeats in their opening games at this year s championships.
Czech Republic were hammered 4-1 by Russia, while a Mario Gomez goal handed Portugal a narrow 1-0 loss to Germany.
But since their opening defeats, both sides regrouped and now have the opportunity to earn a semi-final berth.
Michal Bilek s men recovered to beat Greece 2-1 and Poland 1-0, surging to the top of Group A, much to the surprise of the football world, while Paulo Bento s side clinched second place in Group B with wins a…
Jesus Manuel Corona saw his World Cup ambitions crushed on Thursday as the Sevilla winger suffered leg and ankle injuries that should keep him sidelined until early next year.
The Mexico international was expected to play a key figure for his country at Qatar 2022, but that plan can seemingly now be shelved as he faces up to five months on the sidelines.
Corona, often known by his nickname Tecatito , broke his left fibula and ruptured ankle ligaments in training with Sevilla.
The club said in a statement that the injury occurred without any contact from a team-mate, adding that Corona was rushed to hospital for tests that revealed the devastating extent of his injuries.
Tecatito will be operated on this afternoon for the injury by Dr Najarro at the FREM…
Tottenham have confirmed their squad numbers for the upcoming campaign, with Manchester City target Harry Kane keeping the 10 shirt.
Kane has worn 10 for Spurs since the 2015-16 season, though the England captain seemingly wishes to leave the club.
He has three years remaining on his Tottenham contract, but Premier League champions City have made last season s Golden Boot winner their priority signing after they sealed the arrival of Jack Grealish from Aston Villa.
City splashed out a British record fee of £100million on Grealish, and reportedly had a bid of a similar amount for Kane turned down by Tottenham earlier in the transfer window.
Pep Guardiola has outlined his intention to sign Kane if possible, though City s manager acknowledged the ball will …
Congo booked their first Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final since 1992 with a 2-1 win over Burkina Faso to top Group A.
Thievy Bifouma helped book Congo s place in the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals with the opening goal in their 2-1 win over Burkina Faso on Sunday.
For the first time since 1992, Congo have progressed to the last eight of the tournament after Claude Le Roy led them to the top of Group A with seven points.
A quiet opening 45 minutes saw Burkina Faso have the better of the chances, but they were punished early in the second half.
Thievy put his body on the line to meet Ferebory Dore s low cross, the striker sandwiched between Steeve Yago and goalkeeper Germain Sanou as he registered his second goal of the tournament.
