The stars on Real Madrid’s payroll are leaving bold marks at this year’s EURO finals.
Below are the 3 Real Madrid stars who played the best in the second match of this year’s European Championship group stage.
3. Jude Bellingham
The England team is still struggling with coach Gareth Southgate’s plans, so much so that they only had a disappointing 1-1 draw against Denmark in the second match. Among the Three Lions players present that day, Jude Bellingham is still the best.
Bellingham is still the leader of the Three Lions.
This 20-year-old superstar and Declan Rice were the only two midfielders who were not replaced midway through the match. It shows the importance of Bellingham in the tactical scheme that Southgate is applying. The Real star has made significant contributions in defense and attack support, especially after Bukayo Saka and Phil Foden were withdrawn.
2. Dani Carvajal
With 72 touches of the ball throughout the match, Dani Carvajal played a key role in Spain’s victory over Italy. This 32-year-old defender not only excels in defense but also makes a great impact on the offensive front of the team led by coach Luis de la Fuente.
The left corridor where Carvajal is present often creates situations that make the Italian defense wobble. He especially had a good connection with young talent Lamine Yamal, and even almost had an assist if Rodri’s shot was not blocked in time.
The Real defender is in very high form.
Dani Carvajal’s disciplined and strong performance made it impossible for coach Luciano Spaletti’s team to attack on the right flank. It also contributed to helping Spain win all 3 points to boldly move on to the knock-out round one round ahead.
1. Aurelien Tchouameni
When Kylian Mbappe was absent due to not being completely ready after the nose injury he suffered in the opening match, Aurelien Tchouameni was considered the player with the outstanding performance of France against their biggest opponent in Group D in the final round. EURO 2024.
This 24-year-old player is truly the “boss” of Les Bleus’ midfield against the “orange tornado”. He had 115 touches of the ball and showed impressive passing accuracy. Tchouameni’s ability to control the midfield not only helps stabilize France’s playing style but also creates many great opportunities for his teammates.
