Rui Patrício added new ownership in goal for AS Roma, Thursday, in the European duel against Bayer Leverkusen (1-0), in a game in which he made history by becoming the player with the most duels played in the Europa League.
At a time when he was tied with Aleksandar Dragovic at the top of the list, with 66 games, the Portuguese goalkeeper jumped to the front of the race, with a record of 67 games, with another Portuguese player in third position - Daniel Carriço, with 61 games.
Of the 67 duels, 51 took place in Sporting's jersey, with the remainder split between spells at Wolverhampton and, more recently, AS Roma, coached by José Mourinho.
In this way, Rui Patrício managed to make history in the second competition of the most important clubs in Europe and he can thank Sporting, where he completed his training and remained until 2018.
