Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel is proud to have reached 50 caps with Denmark.

Schmeichel produced a stunning performance on Saturday night to record a clean sheet on his 50th outing for his country, an appearance that saw him match Andy King as City's most-capped player.

The 32-year-old stopper made four high-class saves to keep Switzerland at bay, Yussuf Poulsen's goal in the final 10 minutes sealing a 1-0 victory that boosts Denmark's chances of reaching the Euro 2020 finals.

"I don't know if it was my best international match – but at least it was important," Schmeichel said after the win.

“It was a fantastic and really, really important victory. It wasn't our best international match, but we fought and fought all the way through, and it's incredibly important.

“It was a big motivating factor that I was not involved in the national team earlier in my career, but I am grateful to be part of it now and it makes me proud to play 50 games for my country. Now I just hope for 50 more.

“If I don't last five years, then I will be disappointed.

“You can't plan for football. Anything can happen. You can get hurt tomorrow and not have the opportunity to come back, so you have to be grateful every time you are teamed up with the national team.

“Every match I get to play in front of such a crowd, I am incredibly grateful for, because it happens so rarely. We must be proud of all the matches we can fight on the national team."

Asked if he's improved over recent years, Schmeichel joked: “I always think I've been so good.

“I don't know if I've progressed so much. A goalkeeper's game is very much about routine and about playing lots of matches. I have been doing this for a number of years and it has borne fruit.

“I am also surrounded by good teammates and good coaches with the national team and at my club, where my strengths are utilised."
