The top 5 players in this metric are:
The European Championship takes place in Germany from June 14 to July 14. The tournament has already reached the quarter-final stage, with matches scheduled for July 5 and 6. The reigning champion is the Italian national team, who beat England in the final of Euro 2020 in 2021 (1-1, 3-2 on penalties). The most successful national teams at the Euro are Germany and Spain, with three titles each.
It is worth noting that young England midfielder Jude Bellingham managed to crack the top 5 in this key statistic despite being fined and given a suspended one-match ban by UEFA for an obscene gesture during the round of XNUMX match. This performance highlights his talent and impact on England's Euro campaign.
As the quarter-finals approach, all eyes will be on the continued exploits of these top performers including Gakpo, Musiala and the disciplined Bellingham as they strive to lead their respective national teams to glory in the latter stages of this prestigious European championship.
