The 4 players who shined the most at Euro 2024

The Euro 2024 that took place in Germany came to an end, and Spain rose with the championship by defeating England in the final match, in a tournament where there were figures that shone from beginning to end and were the clear protagonists of the continental event. The Spanish national team, led by coach Luis de la Fuente, is one that has several players in the foreground and it is not surprising that they have been the squad that was the most solid and forceful, as well as consistent in the development of the competition.

Dani Olmo, Rodri, Nico Williams, Cucurella, Lamine Yamal. There is plenty to choose from. But there is also to recognize the great work done by other players who, although they were unable to reach the final stages of the Eurocup, showed all their talent, level and the passion with which they played each minute, defending the colors of their respective countries to the fullest.

Many records of the youngest

We must start with the duo that gave and made the most danger to the rival defenses in this Euro 2024Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams. The FC Barcelona winger has completely broken countless youth records, providing a total of 4 assists, being the sole leader in that department, he scored one of the most spectacular goals in the competition against France and has been a large part of the media focus and has become the player that everyone wanted to see play without a doubt.

A teenager who has won the affection of the fans with his smile, his naturalness, the charisma he possesses and especially because he arrived at the Euro Cup as a top-level player, from whom many things could be expected, but not as the great reference and vital piece that he ended up being for ‘La Roja’.

On the other side, with another overwhelming dose of imbalance, Nico Williams of Athletic Club de Bilbao. Named the MVP of the final and forming a splendid connection with his ‘brother’ Lamine, the Bilbao player is so far much more powerful and more finishing than Yamal, but when they combine they are simply a danger and an opportunity for fans to delight in all the talent they possess.

Rodri once again in stellar form

Undisputed leader of the team in the pivot position, key player in the match against Georgia where he was able to score a great goal at a crucial moment in the match. Rodri is a typical worker and his ability to get free is evident game after game, something that has made him one of Pep Guardiola’s favourites at Manchester City.

Gakpo, Ronald Koeman’s favourite player

It’s time to talk about the Netherlands and It is impossible to stop talking about the great figure that Cody Gakpo was in this continental championship. He scored a total of 3 goals, but above all he was the most differential factor of the team led by Ronald Koeman.

A powerful stride when projecting 100% towards the attack, a change A deadly pace that rival defenders could not cope with at all. He was the one who gave an extra boost to a team that reached the semi-finals against England and saw its dreams of the grand final lost in the final minute of the match. He has already grown up at Liverpool where he currently plays in the Premier League, and at 25 years of age it is quite clear that he is aiming to become one of the offensive references in Europe.
