In the quarter-finals, in the 2-1 triumph over England, the player completed 145 clashes with France, surpassing defender Liliam Thuram, world champion in 1998.
The history of duels in the tournament for Hugo Lloris began at the 2010 World Cup, in South Africa, when he played the three group stage matches. In the next edition, in 2014, he took the field five times.
At the World Cup in Russia, Lloris played six more matches, the same number of clashes as in the tournament held in Qatar.
In the list of goalkeepers most present on the pitch at the World Cup, Neuer comes second with 19 commitments. In third place, on an equal footing, a Brazilian and a German. Taffarel, champion in 1994, in the United States, and Sepp Maier, winner in 1974, in Germany, add up to 18 appearances for the most famous tournament of the selections.
