European Football Championship 2021 • Alexander Isak is part of the BBC’s dream elf

Alexander Isak, 21, was the only offensive glimmer of light when Sweden crossed against Spain. And after the effort against Slovakia, where he was responsible for most of the controversial solo performances, Gary Lineker was lyrical.

The English football icon, who won the shooting league in the 1986 World Cup, wrote on Twitter, among other things, that the Swede is an “exceptional talent”.

At the same time, most European giants are said to be interested in buying the Real Sociedad striker during the summer. Something that costs at least SEK 700 million, considering the striker’s buyout clause.

Among other things, Isak has been linked with Liverpool, Chelsea, Barcelona and Real Madrid.

And it is clear that the 21-year-old, who is still waiting to score his first championship goal, has now had his big international breakthrough.

Alexander Isak petar Ronaldo

During the group stage, the BBC’s readers have been able to rate all players after the matches and now it has all resulted in what is described as the group stage’s dream elf. And there Alexander Isak takes place in the three-man attack together with Ciro Immobile and Romelu Lukaku.

Remarkably, the tournament’s top scorer, Cristiano Ronaldo, who landed on five goals in the first three matches, is not included in the eleven.

Cristiano Ronaldo made history on Wednesday when he scored two goals in the final group game against France. His goal double meant that he equaled the Iranian Ali Daei’s world record of 109 national team goals.

Two Danish players, goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel and midfielder Simon Kjaer, are also in the eleven.
