UEFA has unveiled its typical team for Euro 2024, showcasing a diverse array of talent from across Europe. The team features eleven players, including six Spaniards, two Frenchmen, a German, an Englishman, and a Swiss, highlighting the tournament's competitive spirit and the exceptional performances witnessed throughout the competition.
Spain, the winners of Euro 2024, dominate the lineup with six players. Among them is Marc Cucurella, the only representative in defense for Spain, which conceded only four goals during the tournament. The midfield is fortified by three La Roja players: Rodri, voted the best player of the tournament, Fabian Ruiz, and Dani Olmo, the co-top scorer. Up front, the Spanish attack is spearheaded by the dynamic duo of Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams.
France also made a significant impact with two players in the typical team. Goalkeeper Mike Maignan and central defender William Saliba were pivotal in France's solid defensive performances. Their inclusion underscores the strength and resilience of the French squad throughout Euro 2024.
The typical team features a 100% Premier League defense. Alongside Cucurella and Saliba, Manchester City's Manuel Akanji and Kyle Walker solidify the backline. Germany's Jamal Musiala, known for his virtuoso performances, completes the lineup, adding flair and creativity to the attack.
Manchester City emerges as the most represented club with three players in the lineup: Walker, Rodri, and Akanji. This highlights the club's significant contribution to the tournament's standout performances. Interestingly, no player from Real Madrid, the Champions League winners, made it to the team, emphasizing the unpredictable nature of football.
