The Euro 2024 has finally come to an end with Luis de La Fuente’s Spain winning the tournament after defeating England in a closely contested final in Berlin.
This year’s tournament has been nothing short of spectacular, showcasing some of the finest talents the sport has to offer. From nail-biting matches to awe-inspiring individual performances, Euro 2024 has delivered unforgettable moments that will be etched in the annals of football history. As we celebrate the triumphs and heartbreaks, it’s time to honor the standout players who have risen above the rest.
Here is the ProSports Team Of The Tournament for Euro 2024.
The Athletic Bilbao keeper conceded only 4 goals throughout the tournament. He registered 2 clean sheets and saved one penalty while making 14 saves throughout the tournament. He also had a passing accuracy of more than 81% during the mega-event. Not to mention he won the Euros with Spain.
With a solid defensive record which included 41 ball recoveries and 4 clean sheets, Kounde tops the chart in the right-back category and makes the team of the tournament. He conceded 3 goals in 6 matches and made 16 clearances with an immaculate passing accuracy of 87.67.
Arsenal’s William Saliba, another French defender makes it to the team. He attempted six tackles and recovered the ball on 31 occasions. France only conceded three goals and made four clean sheets in its six games and Saliba’s defensive acumen was a key factor.
Probably the best center-back in the Premier League era solidified his place in the Euros team of the tournament as well. He kept two clean sheets in six matches and helped the Netherlands reach the semifinal even though they were playing with an extremely high line under the management of Ronald Koeman. He had 32 ball recoveries and made 28 clearances throughout the campaign with a passing accuracy of 91.34.
Chelsea’s defender, Marc Cucurella proved his worth after sensational outing in Euro 2024. He was solid at the back and provided an outlet to Spain at the left-flank as well. One of the better performers in the tournament.
Fabian Ruiz is in the best form of his life at the moment and turned up for Spain in the Euros. He has scored two goals and provided two assists and his creative prowess in the midfield has helped Spain score 13 goals so far in the tournament.
After Pedri’s injury, he is playing a lot deeper but is still contributing to Spain’s attack. He has made 39 passes into the final third and has a total of 15 attempts.
Jude Bellingham was at the heart of England’s brilliant run to the final but he lacked incisiveness when it came to finishing off chances. Although he was the sole reason that England went past the round of 16 against Slovakia thanks to his bicycle kick. He made 29 passes in the final third while scoring 2 goals and registering 1 assist. The Real Madrid star had a passing accuracy of 89.67 throughout the campaign for England.
The midfield dictator won the Man of the Tournament award. The Manchester City star covered all the spaces on the pitch and he was involved in starting more than 30 build-up plays for Spain as he initiated most attacks for the Spanish national team. He made 36 passes in the final third with a passing accuracy of 92.84%. The Spaniard also registered a goal and also made 33 ball recoveries while defending.
The biggest teenage sensation in the world, Barcelona and Spain’s Lamine Yamal has shined throughout Euro 2024 and helped his side reach the final at the age of 17.
He is the assist leader with three and also scored a crucial equalizer against France in the semifinal.
Yamal’s dribbling and finishing on the right wing has made him a surprising trick up Spain’s sleeves. He has made 16 attempts, 30 dribbles, and 14 passes into the box this tournament in the six games he has played.
Although Cody Gakpo played on the left flank for the Netherlands, he can play centrally as seen in Liverpool, and deserves a spot in this team.
Netherlands made it to the semifinal and much praise went to Cody Gakpo who scored three goals and provided an assist in Euro 2024.
Gakpo made eight attempts on target and made 11 passes into the box. His agility and finishing went hand-in-hand to ensure the Netherlands a respectable finish in the tournament.
The Athletic Bilbao star made 21 passes into the penalty area while scoring 2 goals and 1 assist. For a winger, he registered a high overall passing accuracy in the Euros (89.67%) and he was a serious attacking threat with his dribbling skills and pace which provided an impetus to Luis de La Fuente’s team. He had 11 attempts on goal as well during the tournament.
