(Reuters) - Razvan Rat will earn his landmark 100th cap for Romania when they face Finland on Tuesday but the defender will not let the occasion cloud his focus as he is determined to help his country earn three points in the Group F Euro 2016 qualifier.

"Yes, it's a special game for me but I'm thinking how to win the match, we'll have to do everything possible to win it," the 33-year-old PAOK Salonika player told reporters ahead of the match in Helsinki's Olympic Stadium.
