Spain captain Sergio Ramos said his goal is to reach 200 international appearances after equalling Iker Casillas record.
Ramos moved level with Casillas as Spain s most-capped player following his 167th cap in Sunday s 4-0 rout of the Faroe Islands in Euro 2020 qualifying.
After matching Casillas in the Group F qualifier, the 33-year-old defender – who debuted in 2005 – said: Records are there to be broken.
I hope that this momentum, enthusiasm and ambition always accompanies me and that I reach 200 games, which is the objective.
You have to make it difficult.

Brazil can secure top spot in Copa America Group B with victory over Colombia on Wednesday.
The two sides go into the glamour clash of the group on the back of hugely contrasting results against Peru.
Neymar and Co. ensured the Selecao swept aside Los Incas 4-0 in their last game, but Colombia were stunned as they slipped to a 2-1 defeat to the same opposition.
As a result, Brazil will finish top of Group B should they win against Colombia and Peru fail to beat Ecuador.
That will secure a quarter-final with the fourth-placed side in Group A, but it may not mean a routine last-eight clash, as Uruguay occupy that spot as it stands.
A win will secure Colombia s place in the quarters, though a draw could be enough if Ecuador lose to Peru in the earli…

Saul Niguez wants to rediscover his best form at Champions League holders Chelsea after his Atletico Madrid frustrations, saying: I don t want to see the Saul that you ve seen these last two years .

Harry Maguire cancelled out an opening goal from Kean Bryan, but a deflected strike from substitute Oliver Burke secured just a second league win of the season for the Blades.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer s men needed to win to overtake Manchester City at the top but delivered a lifeless performance as they saw a 13-match unbeaten run in the top flight come to an end.

Newcastle United made Premier League history without playing on Wednesday as their top-flight status was secured.
Leeds United s 3-0 defeat at home to Chelsea meant Newcastle can no longer be relegated this season.

Under three different coaches in Steve Bruce, interim appointment Graeme Jones and current boss Eddie Howe, Newcastle became the fourth team to go winless through their first 14 matches of a Premier League season.
Each of the previous three �…

Inter chief executive Giuseppe Marotta revealed the Nerazzurri are set to open contract talks with Paris Saint-Germain target Milan Skriniar after declaring the defender will certainly remain at San Siro.
Skriniar emerged as a top target for PSG after entering the final 12 months of his deal with the Serie A giants, for whom he has been a key figure since joining from Sampdoria in 2017.
The Slovakia captain has won one Scudetto and one Coppa Italia with the Nerazzurri and made his 175th league appearance for the club against Lazio on Friday.
Only goalkeeper Samir Handanovic (188) has played more Serie A games for Inter in that time.
