Rodri is enjoying an excellent Euro 2024 for Spain, and he's stretching his remarkable international record in Germany.

The Manchester City star's long unbeaten run at club level came to an end in the 2023/24 FA Cup final.

But on the international stage, he still boasts a superb undefeated stretch, which he'll be hoping continues until the end of the tournament.

But, with England in the Euro 2024 final up next, Rodri's record is sure to be tested to the limit.

When was the last time Rodri lost a game for Spain?

Rodri hasn't been involved in a defeat for his country for well over a year.

That run stretches over 15 games and includes the Nations League final, which La Roja won in 2023.

In fact, the last game Rodri played in which Spain lost over 90 minutes came against Scotland during Euro 2024 qualifying.

Spain went down 2-0 in Glasgow to the Tartan Army in March 2023, with Scott McTominay scoring both goals to seal a famous win.

Rodri played the full 90 minutes as Spain were blown away.

However, since then, La Roja are unbeaten in every game the former Atletico Madrid man has played.

Meanwhile, Spain have lost one match since that Scotland game, but Rodri wasn't involved.

He sat on the bench for the full game and watched his side lose 1-0 to Colombia in a friendly.

This means that many of his teammates don't share the same unbeaten run as Rodri.

It also underlines his importance for club and country because City lost games last season without Rodri in their team.

However, his Man City teammate, Kyle Walker, has hinted there are weaknesses in Rodri's game that England can exploit.

Speaking exclusively to talkSPORT, he said: "He's a great player, and he controls the game and dictates the game at his own pace as I know at club level.

"But we've seen video clips [of him], I know him first and foremost, there's weaknesses in everyone's game. No one's the perfect article."

If England do manage to exploit those weaknesses, then Rodri's long unbeaten international record could come to an abrupt and heartbreaking end.
