Former Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante made a bit of history on Monday.
N'Golo Kante started for France, helping them to beat Belgium 1-0 in the last 16 of Euro 2024.
They now have a tough game against Portugal in the quarter-finals on Friday.
Whatever happens, Kante can be pleased with how this tournament has gone for him on an individual level.
Monday's win against Belgium actually saw him break a record that was previously held by Spain and Barcelona legend Xavi.
According to Squawka, it means the 33-year-old has now played more European Championship games (12) without losing than any player in the competition's history.

He has surpassed Xavi and will now be hoping to claim the trophy, just as the former Barcelona manager did back in 2012 and 2008.
Kante already helped France to win the World Cup in 2018.
Play a part in them clinching the European Championship, and Kante will surely retire as one of the greatest midfielders of all time if he is not already on course to do that.
Romelu Lukaku has had a European Championship to forget While Euro 2024 is going well for Kante, it is a tournament that Romelu Lukaku will not want to remember.
Not only are Belgium now out of the competition, but individually, a lot went against him.
Lukaku had a few goals disallowed in the group stage and exits the Euros without having scored.
For someone who is usually so prolific on the international stage, the 31-year-old will be extremely disappointed with how things went for him in Germany.
In the 119 appearances Lukaku has made for Belgium, the striker has scored 85 goals. But failing to add to that tally at Euro 2024, the former Inter Milan and Manchester United player has truly had a tournament to forget.
