DenmarkCounted from the international goal archive — every scorer-credited goal in the matches it covers, 1916 to today. A record of covered matches, not a complete career count; own goals never join a scorer's tally.
Michael Laudrup is a Danish professional football coach and former player. Known for his playmaking and technical abilities, he is regarded as one of the greatest players of all time. He is the older brother of fellow retired footballer Brian Laudrup. — Wikipedia

18 appearances in the starting line-ups the archive holds — not a career total. Our line-up coverage is partial, so a match he played that we hold no sheet for is simply not counted here.
