Mbappe named in Euro 2024 group stage best squad

Kylian Mbappe was named as the leading striker in the best XI of the group stage, despite the French striker having only scored one goal so far at Euro 2024.

Mbappe's goal was scored from a penalty kick against Poland, not the usual "live ball" of sprinting, dribbling past the opposing defender and finishing seen in Mbappe.

Also in the group stage, the French captain did not play in the match where France drew 0-0 with the Netherlands. In addition, Mbappe did not play the entire match against Austria (France won 1-0 thanks to an own goal). He left the field after a collision with an Austrian defender that left him with a nose injury.

Mbappe missed quite a few one-on-one opportunities in the group stage, with at least two such situations in the match against Austria, as well as two unsuccessful one-on-one situations with the Polish goalkeeper.

Best XI players.

In the squad of 11 best players in the group stage, there are very worthy names such as midfielder Kevin De Bruyne (Belgium), Toni Kroos (Germany), center back Bastoni (Italy), or right back Kimmich (Germany).

Spain and Germany have the most players each: 2 players. The Spanish players include left-back Cucurella, midfielder Fabian Ruiz and right winger. The German players in this squad include Toni Kroos and Kimmich as mentioned.

Meanwhile, the most surprising player was goalkeeper Mamardashvili (Georgia). The Dailymail itself made a mistake when drawing a graphic of Portuguese winger Bernando Silva as a Spaniard.

On the other hand, the worst squad of the Euro 2024 group stage surprisingly did not include Belgium striker Lukaku. This was even more surprising than Mbappe being named in the best squad.

Lukaku has had a number of unthinkable misses in Belgium's three group stage matches, including a miss in front of an open goal. Lukaku has failed to score in the first phase of this year's Euros, despite starting every match.

Worst XI of the group stage.

The most famous player in the worst XI of the group stage is Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. The other, long-awaited figure from Italy, midfielder Frattesi, makes sense.

The player who plays for Inter Milan was highly expected in this year's tournament, but he performed very poorly. Frattesi's lackluster performance caused Italy to be completely overwhelmed by Spain in the group stage.

Hungary had the most players in the worst squad: two, including centre-back Attila Fiola and left-back Milos Kerkez.
