National teams often have important players whose performance in major events is very important. When the going gets tough, these players step up and put on a show that is nothing short of amazing.
Fans get excited when they stand in the stands and witness such a big tournament. Imagine getting a feel for the atmosphere and watching people perform at the highest level that can completely change the outcome of a match. This is the real pleasure of attending a sporting event at a great venue.
Anticipation for Euro 2024 is growing as the big event approaches. Watching your favorite national team play against other national teams in Europe will be a memorable event.
This event in Germany could be one of the best as the entire cast of 24 teams has secured their spot in the tournament. The top five teams in terms of betting odds for the 2024 European Championship are England, France, Germany, Portugal and host Germany.
The best players at Euro 2024
1. Kylian Mbappe
People already think that Kylian Mbappe is one of the best players in the world. Competing at his home country’s top level at the age of 18, no one doubted that he would become a world-class player.
He scored a hat-trick in his 2022 final and he was one of the main reasons why France won his 2018 World Cup. He is currently 25 years old. However, he has not yet won the European Championship. He missed a penalty when France lost to Switzerland in a surprise semi-final three years ago.
His luck was even worse as he failed to score in the last tournament as well. Still, this summer gives him a chance to solidify his place in sports history. Hopefully it will be interesting to see if they play him at the next Olympics, especially since he is expected to move to Real Madrid.
2. Lamine Yamal
Barcelona have the means to develop talented young players and their winger will be 17 years old by the time Euro 2024 begins. That makes Lamine Yamal one of the most intriguing foreign players in this tournament.
With his bold dribbling and excellent passing skills, Yamal can play in both midfield and attack. It would be the best gift for Yamal to be able to help Spain reach the Euro 2024 finals on his 17th birthday.
It will be interesting to see if the Spaniard can continue the club’s excellent international performances.
3. Jude Bellingham
Given his outstanding quality for both club and country, Bellingham needs no introduction. The 20-year-old was fantastic when he joined Real Madrid last summer. England will therefore be hoping their excellent form continues into Euro 2024.
Bellingham is an integral part of the team, even when he doesn’t have the ball, thanks to his extraordinary vision and great confidence. He will undoubtedly be an integral part of the Three Lions’ bid to win the German championship.
Thanks to his outstanding performance, he became one of the main players of this year’s European Championship. This is due to his role as a key midfielder, essential for England to progress through the difficult group stages and beyond.
4. Cristiano Ronaldo
His reputation as an elite soccer remains undiminished, even at the age of 39. Even after his move to Al Nasr was widely reported, Ronaldo remained committed to the Portuguese national team.
Despite approaching his 50s, the legendary star sees age as just a number. The fact remains that he is a person who expects nothing less than perfection from himself and those around him. He will do his best to score goals to lead Portugal to victory.
For the Selecao, his presence and ability as a central attacker will be pivotal in what could be their last match in the European Championship. Keep an eye on Ronaldo throughout the tournament as he has built a career on exploiting clutch situations.
5. Kevin De Bruyne
The key members of Belgium’s once proud ‘Golden Generation’ are beginning to disappear. Star goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is one of the top players who may miss Euro 2024 due to a recent knee injury.
But De Bruyne is still available for the Red Devils and is as good as ever. Since returning from injury in early 2024, the playmaker has played in 12 games and assisted on 13 goals.
He will undoubtedly continue to lead and inspire the Belgian team with the goal of becoming an international star. It’s a deadly combination, especially when Romelu Lukaku deals with it – he’s still very productive for his country.
