Since 1980, no player has achieved a 100% passing accuracy rate while making at least 76 passes in a single match in the EURO finals.

Before Christensen set this record, Toni Kroos was the best passer in this year’s European Championship.

On June 15, Kroos had a 99% passing accuracy rate (101/102) in Germany’s 5-1 win over Scotland. In the first half, his passing accuracy was a perfect 100% with 55 passes.

Returning to Christensen, he joined Barcelona after his contract with Chelsea expired in the summer of 2022. The Danish defender is committed to the Camp Nou club until the summer of 2026, with a release clause of 500 million euros.

Standing at 1.88 meters, Christensen is considered a skillful ball-playing center-back. He is often seen carrying the ball forward to help dictate play. However, he is sometimes criticized for lacking necessary aggression.
