UEFA has officially announced the Euro 2024 Team of the Tournament, celebrating the players who excelled in this summer’s championship.
Spain, the tournament champions, heavily feature in the lineup, highlighting their dominance throughout the competition.
The selected team, arranged in a 4-3-3 formation, includes players from several nations, but Spain’s presence is particularly strong.
In goal, France’s Mike Maignan was chosen for his outstanding performances, crucial in his team’s defensive efforts.
The defense line includes:
Kyle Walker (England); Manuel Akanji (Switzerland); William Saliba (France); Marc Cucurella (Spain)
The midfield trio is composed of:
Rodri (Spain); Fabián Ruiz (Spain) and Dani Olmo (Spain)
The forward line:
Jamal Musiala (Germany); Lamine Yamal (Spain); Nico Williams (Spain)
Spain’s Rodri played a pivotal role in their 2-1 victory over England in the final, securing their fourth Euro title. His only goal of the tournament came during a 4-1 victory over Georgia in the last 16, but his overall contribution went beyond scoring.
Spain’s coach, Luis de la Fuente, praised Rodri as a “perfect computer” for his precise passing and game-reading skills, essential in navigating Spain through a challenging tournament.
