Six Spanish players were selected in Uefa’s XI.
Three Manchester City players were named in the Euro 2024 Team of the Tournament.
The competition wrapped up on Sunday with Spain beating England 2-1 in the final, as Nico Williams and Mikel Oyarzabal netted the crucial goals.
Unsurprisingly, Spain dominated the best XI named on Tuesday, with six players selected from Luis de la Fuente’s side. Rodri, the Player of the Tournament, was chosen in an all-Spanish midfield along with Fabian Ruiz and Dani Olmo. Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella, Lamine Yamal and Williams were selected, although there was no spot for former City defender Aymeric Laporte.
Instead, current Blue Manuel Akanji was chosen as one of the two centre-backs, along with Willian Saliba of Arsenal. Mike Maignan and Kyle Walker made up the back five. Germany’s Jamal Musiala was the final player named by Uefa in the XI with the Bayern Munich star scoring three goals from five games.
City’s three representatives are more than any other club, with AC Milan, Arsenal, Chelsea, RB Leipzig, Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona, Bayern and Athletic Bilbao all having one player.
The team was chosen by a panel of current and former coaches that includes ex-Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Aljosa Asanovic, Rafel Benitez, Frank de Boer, Packie Bonner, Fabio Capello, Jean-Francois Domergue, Avram Grant, Aitor Karanka, Ioan Lupescu, David Moyes and Michael O’Neill were also part of UEFA’s technical observer team .
