The most promising players for Euro 2020

 

A blockbuster extravaganza of highs and lows, Euro 2020 offered us with a spectacular spectacle in which Italy shined the brightest, hoisting the famous European Championship trophy at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.


In addition, the competition provides an excellent platform for participants to demonstrate their ability on a global scale. Following the conclusion of the tournament, we shift our attention to the summer's most promising performers.


Pedri


While showing signs of his potential throughout the season for Barcelona, the 18-year-old Pedri truly impressed during this tournament, starting every game for Spain and playing every minute with the exception of one.


Pedri's brilliance shined through in both Spain's attacking and defensive play, and he was instrumental in the team's progression to the semi-finals.


Donnarumma


Italy's 22-year-old goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was named player of the tournament after playing a critical role in the penalty shootout victories against Spain and England.


This tournament has provided a breakthrough moment for the young star, who seems to be on the verge of finalizing a deal to Paris Saint-Germain in the coming days.


Schick


It was during the match against Scotland that Patrik Schick created a name for himself by scoring a competition-record goal from a distance of 55 metres and 44 cm.


With five goals in this tournament, the Czech striker was matched with Cristiano Ronaldo for the top scorer title, but the Portuguese star's one assist disqualified him from taking home the prize for the best player in the competition.


Dumfries


Despite the fact that Denzel Dumfries did not go beyond the second round of the tournament, the Netherlands full-back created a name for himself by putting up noteworthy performances against Ukraine and Austria in the competition.


Damsgaard


In spite of the fact that they lost their star player Christian Eriksen early in the tournament, Denmark put up a remarkable fight this summer, reaching the semi-finals before succumbing to England in the final.


Mikkel Damsgaard, a 21-year-old midfielder from Denmark, made a name for himself with his national team, scoring goals against both Russia and England, which has piqued the interest of numerous English teams.


Saka


Bukayo Saka made his first appearance of the tournament in the group stage against the Czech Republic, and he contributed to England's attacking edge throughout the game, helping the team go all the way to the final.


Chiesa


Federico Chiesa, who is just 23 years old, was one of Italy's brightest lights throughout the tournament, scoring against Spain in the semi-final and creating serious difficulties for England until suffering an injury at Wembley Stadium in the final.


Gosens


Atalanta's right wing-back With a goal and an assist in Germany's 4-2 victory against Portugal in the group stages, Robin Gosens established himself as a promising young talent.


Spinazzola


When Leonardo Spinazzola suffered an Achilles tendon injury in the 79th minute of Italy's quarter-final match against Belgium, his campaign came to a stop. Spinazzola was one of Italy's most promising players. Despite this, he put up standout performances against Turkey and Austria in the early stages of the competition.


Maehle


Joakim Maehle of Denmark scored in victories against Russia and Wales, and he also left his imprint with a superb outside-of-the-foot assist against the Czech Republic that would have made the likes of Luka Modric pleased. The 24-year-old has played an important role for his nation.


Locatelli


When he was 23 years old, Manuel Locatelli put in notable performances early in the tournament before finding it difficult to get into the starting XI later on owing to the depth of midfield quality that Italy had in its ranks.


Locatelli is looking to leave Sassuolo, with Juventus being heavily linked with a bid for the midfielder.
