After the final match between England and Spain ended, the individual awards were also given to the right owners.
Early this morning at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, Spain won the EURO for the fourth time after an emotional 2-1 victory over England. Two goals from Nico Williams and Mikel Oyarzabal made La Roja the team with the most EURO titles.
Before the official trophy award ceremony for Spain took place, the tournament organizers also announced the owners of outstanding individual titles.
Lamine Yamal, who turned 17 two days ago, was named “Best Young Player of EURO 2024” with 1 goal and 4 assists. Not only that, the tournament in Germany also witnessed many records broken by the striker born in 2007.
Not inferior to his junior, La Roja midfielder Rodri was also awarded the title of “Best Player of the Tournament”. The 27-year-old star has maintained his high performance in Manchester City and has become an irreplaceable factor for coach Luis de la Fuente in the playing style of the Spanish national team.
Not as clear as the two awards above, the title of Top Scorer of this EURO was shared by 6 different players with the same 3 goals.
Ivan Schranz had a successful EURO with Slovakia, as the Central European side reached the round of 16, losing only to England. Francesco Calzona’s side even defeated the Belgian giants, with Schranz scoring the only goal of the match.
Also a phenomenon of the tournament like Slovakia, Georgia passed the group stage in the first time participating in a EURO. Striker Georges Mikautadze is certainly the inspiration for the аttаck of Willy Sagnol’s army.
Germany may have been eliminated in the quarter-finals, but Jamal Musiala is still considered one of the best players at EURO 2024. The Bayern Munich striker, with his skillful dribbling and creative passing, has troubled many defenders at the tournament.
Cody Gakpo was not in good form at Liverpool last season, but when he played for the Netherlands, he immediately became a different person. Returned to his favorite left-forward position by coach Ronald Koeman, Gakpo immediately regained the form he had shown at PSV Eindhoven, contributing greatly to helping the Netherlands reach the semi-finals.
Dani Olmo was the turning point that helped Spain win EURO 2024. Before the tournament, the 26-year-old midfielder was only considered a supporting actor for Pedri’s attacking position, but when the Barcelona star suffered a serious ιnjury in the quarter-final match against Germany, Olmo played excellently in the remaining 3 matches with 2 goals and 1 assist.
Not as complete as Olmo, once again, Harry Kane fell before the threshold of heaven in the finals. In fact, despite scoring 3 goals, the overall performance of the 30-year-old striker was not really convincing when the player born in 1993 was continuously substituted by coach Gareth Southgate in the middle of the match, the match at the Berlin Olympics this morning was no exception.
