Liverpool’s star midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai broke a long-standing record at Euro 2024.
In total, 10 Liverpool players will feature in their respective squads at Euro 2024, including the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, Virgil van Dijk, Andy Robertson and Cody Gakpo.
Full-back Robertson endured a difficult opening match as Scotland were beaten 5-1 by hosts Germany at the Allianz Arena.
On the evening of June 15, Liverpool star Dominik Szoboszlai broke a 64-year-old record when he captained Hungary in the match against Switzerland. At 23 years, 7 months and 21 days, Szoboszlai became the youngest captain in Euro history since the tournament was founded in 1960.

Speaking before the match, Szoboszlai said: “A few days ago, I learned that I will be the youngest captain of all time at the European Championship; This is a great honor for me, and at the same time I would like to thank Coach Marco Rossi for trusting me and giving me the opportunity to lead the team.”
“I’m not worried yet, but I’m curious to know how I will feel when the whole team gets on the bus to the stadium in Cologne. At that time, I will take the time to calmly wait for the opening match against Switzerland.” .
Szoboszlai joined Liverpool from RB Leipzig last summer, and he quickly endeared himself to Merseyside Red Devils fans.
