Best Euro Player: Gianluigi Donnarumma (Italy)
It is a great consecration for Gianluigi Donnarumma. At the age of 22, the future PSG player was voted the best player of the European Championship after Italy’s victory in the final against England (1: 1, 3 tab to 2). Ex-Milan was also decisive in this penalty shoot-out, pushing back the attempts of Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka while Marcus Rashford touched the post. “Gigio” had already shown in the same exercise against Spain, against Alvaro Morata. A real specialty as he has never lost a penalty shootout in his career. And since he has never conceded more than one goal per game in 33 selections in the Italian jersey, Gianluigi Donnarumma is already a monument on the other side of the Alps!

He went fast, like some other Eurostars. But not empty-handed. With his five successes in four games (two against Hungary, one against Germany, two against France), Cristiano Ronaldo is the top scorer of the European Championship.

Karim Benzema completed the podium (3rd) with four goals.
Best youngster in the euro: Pedri (Spain)
Durable and talented. At 18, Pedri made a big euro at the heart of the Spanish game. And receives the award for the best youngster in the competition. The Barcelona missed only one minute of the game during the Spanish course, in the quarter-finals he was eliminated shortly before the end of extra time against Switzerland. In the semi-final against Italy, he finished with a very flattering record of 65 successful passes out of 66. Luis Enrique, the coach of La Roja, was enthusiastic about what Pedri did in this tournament when he was 18. Not even Andres Iniesta. It’s amazing, unique. ”With the Pedri diamond, Spain and Barça have solid capital to build on in the years to come.
