Spain 1 x 1 in the Euro Cup final

FIRST SIMON

Providential

He couldn’t stop Cole Palmer’s goal after the ball hit Zubimendi, but was more successful against Foden’s shot late in the first half and against Declan Rice’s header in the 90th minute, before Dani Olmo was dressed. as goalkeeper to frustrate Marc Guéhi.

CARVAJAL

Unmeasurable

The best is back in the world today. In his great season at Real Madrid, scoring in the Champions League final, he added a Euro Cup to his tally, including a superb performance in the final. His relationship outside the 1-0 play, key to its development.

LAPORTE

Imperial

Some doubted him when he found himself in Arab football, but he showed in this Euro Cup that he is still a super-elite player. The final is no exception in that sense.

4

LE NORMAND

fighter

He ended up asking for a change due to discomfort, but in the 83 minutes he was on the green he couldn’t avoid a duel. He won 4 of the 6 aerials he fought and Harry Kane’s presence became bitter.

5

CUCURELLA

Paid off

His impetus led him to rush the play for England’s goal, but he later had a chance to make up for it by assisting Oyarzabal in a goal that is now part of Spanish football history. He will never forget a Euro Cup where he shone in his own light even though he reached it on tiptoe.

6

RODRIGO H.

MVP

He dominated the game from his position and had a good first half, but in the latter half a slip caused him to be injured and after the break he never returned to the green. He was chosen as the MVP of this Euro Cup and it is no surprise.

7

FABIÁN RUIZ

Artist

From start to finish he is dedicated to the tasks of giving continuity to the game and creating dangerous actions. His movements on the ball were art and, in another game, he confirmed his figure.

8

LAMINE YAMAL

Historical

At 17 years and 1 day he became the youngest footballer to play in the final of a major national team tournament and he did so by being key for his team to achieve victory. He assisted Nico Williams in the 1-0 and with this he became the top assister in this tournament (4) where he also emerged as the Best Young Player.

9

DANI OLMO

savior

Under the sticks and fulfilling functions that were not his, he cleared the ball with his head to avoid the goal that would send the finals to extra time. Previously, he was also the key to Nico Williams’ goal as his movement, without even touching the ball, caused the game to end the way it did.

10

NICO WILLIAMS

Can opener

He was in charge of opening the can. Or what is the same, to score the first goal of what ended up being the final victory. He did so with a great finish against Pickford after being assisted by his friend Lamine Yamal.

Eleven

ALVARO MORATA

worker

He fought and fought for every split ball as if his life depended on it, but he saw no reward as he wanted. He had a clear scoring chance when he played one-on-one with Pickford where he missed his shot too far.

12

ZUBIMENDI

Following

He took the field in the difficult task of replacing the injured Rodrigo and more than fulfilled his task.

13

MIKEL OYARZABAL

accurate

His goal, which was enabled and not offside by centimeters, is already part of the history of Spanish football. His shot was accurate.

14

NACHO

Substitution

He entered the final stage instead of a ‘play’ of Le Normand and, as usual, he delivered.
