Fabian Ruiz is the best midfielder of the Euro 2024 group stage. The former Napoli midfielder led Spain to early qualification for the round of 16 with two superlative performances, a masterpiece goal and even an assist. In the end, the coach Luis de la Fuente, due to the now irrelevant match against Albania, decided to preserve him for the round of 16. Jamal Musiala is a candidate to be the star of the tournament, he certainly is for hosts Germany. Veteran quality and personality and the best is yet to come.
Kevin De Bruyne was a disappointment in Qatar 2022, this time he takes Belgium by the hand in a delicate moment, his performance in the match against Romania was great. Morten Hjulmand confirms himself as a regret of the Italian big teams: how could they have let him slip away for only 19 million? And to think that seeing him in Lecce it was clear that it was a bargain. Sporting CP understood this before anyone else and are grateful. For the champions of tomorrow, keep an eye on Arda Guler while Gundogan and Kroos are the certainties of the present. Finally, N’Golo Kanté proves to be the exception among the players who ended up in Saudi Arabia: among all of them he is the only one who is maintaining a great standard even at the European Championships. Two Serie A players are present: the Neapolitan Lobotka and the Bolognese Aebischer, protagonists respectively with Slovakia and Switzerland.
