At 03:00 on July 11, the semi-final of the European Championship saw Netherlands VS England. Before the game, the starting lineups were revealed, with 19-year-old Munoz’s name prominently listed.
According to statistics, at the age of 19 years and 82 days, Munoz has become the youngest player ever to start a semi-final match in an international major tournament (World Cup/European Championship) for England. It’s worth noting that Munoz only made his debut for Manchester United in the Premier League last November. In less than a year, he has not only become a regular for the England national team but also a starter in the European Championship semi-final.
In the first five games of this European Championship, Munoz didn’t get the chance to play in the group stage match against Denmark. He came off the bench twice during the group stage, but now he has started in three consecutive knockout matches.
In his four appearances so far, Munoz has made a total of 142 passes, with 135 successful passes, achieving a passing success rate of 96%. This makes him the midfielder with the highest passing accuracy since the 1980 European Championship.
