EURO 2024 ended with an extraordinary achievement by Spain, the team won the European football championship for the 4th time in history with 7 wins.
It is no surprise that Spain also won the most important individual awards from the European Football Federation (UEFA).
The UEFA technical co-ordination team awarded Rodri the Best Player award, while the Best Young Player award for EURO 2024 went to Lamine Yamal. Dani Olmo shared the Golden Boot with five others.
Although Rodri missed the second half of the final against England, the Man City midfielder's influence on Spain's title win was unmatched.
Rodri's excellent performance during his month-long journey in Germany has seen him rated as a contender for the France Football Ballon d'Or award later this year.
However, data analytics company Opta, based on performance assessments, announced the EURO 2024 squad without Rodri.
The presence of goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili was also a surprise. He made the most saves of the tournament (30), but Georgia were eliminated in the round of 16.
In addition, no Spanish champions' centre-backs, nor any members of France's solid defence, were selected in Opta's team of the season.
The center forward position was given to Cody Gakpo by Opta, one of six players sharing the Golden Boot. The Dutchman is not a striker, and scored two-thirds of his goals in the group stage, then went silent in the quarter-finals and semi-finals.
Opta's EURO 2024 Team of the Tournament:
Goalkeeper: Giorgi Mamardashvili (Georgia).
Right back: Joshua Kimmich (Germany).
Right centre-back: Manuel Akanji (Switzerland).
Left centre-back: Marc Guehi (England).
Left back: Marc Cucurella (Spain).
Right central midfielder: Toni Kroos (Germany).
Left midfielder: Fabianz Ruiz (Spain).
Right forward: Lamine Yamal (Spain).
Attacking midfielder: Dani Olmo (Spain).
Right forward: Nico Williams (Spain).
Center: Cody Gakpo (Netherlands).
