Goran Pandev will be the North Macedonia captain at Euro 2020, which begins in Rome on June 11.

The veteran attacker has won 117 caps for his country since making his debut against Turkey in a World Cup qualifier back in June 2001.

He remains the star of the North Macedonia side too, with more goals and caps than any other player in the country’s history.

Pandev put North Macedonia ahead on the stroke of half time, only for Ilkay Gundogan to equalise, but Eljif Elmas’ late goal gave them a famous win.

Igor Angelovski’s side will rely heavily on Pandev’s quality and composure as they compete in a first major tournament.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
