On June 15, in the opening match of the European Championship, Germany defeated Scotland 5-1 to start on a high note. In this game, Noël started and played the full 90 minutes, equaling the record for the most appearances by a goalkeeper in major tournaments and setting a new record for the most starts for the German national team in such events.
Despite some fluctuations in form in previous league matches, Noël remains the most trusted goalkeeper for the German team on the Euro stage. In this match, he made his 35th appearance in a major tournament, tying the record set by French goalkeeper Lloris as the goalkeeper with the most appearances in world football competitions.
Additionally, Noël surpassed Lahm’s record (34 starts) to become the player with the most starts for Germany in international tournaments. Across all European national teams, his record places him third, only behind Cristiano Ronaldo (43 starts) and Paolo Maldini (36 starts).
The German team’s chances of winning the Euro title this year will largely depend on Noël’s performance.
