Cech sets unwanted Euro record as Czech Republic crash out at group stage

Czech Republic have crashed out at the group stage, and Petr Cech exits the tournament with a record he doesn’t want.

Tuesday’s defeat to Turkey has left them bottom of Group D, having secured just a point against Croatia in their three group games.

But for Cech, the 2-0 defeat means that the Arsenal goalkeeper has conceded 21 goals in the European Championship - the most of any goalkeeper in the tournament’s history.

The veteran first started letting them in at Euro 2004 – his debut in the tournament.

21 - Petr Cech has conceded 21 EURO finals goals, more than any other goalkeeper in history. Gunned.
