The best players at Euro 2024: Matchday 1

Unai Simon

We’re just one round of fixtures into Euro 2024, but it’s already fair to say that the game’s superstars are delivering at the tournament.

The likes of Jude Bellingham, Lamine Yamal and Jamal Musiala were all at their best in the opening fixtures, providing match-winning contributions for their nations.

But who has been the pick of the bunch thus far?

Well, that’s what we’re here to find out.

Here’s our picks for the top 10 players of the tournament so far.

Unai Simon

Had Spain not had a goalkeeper as utterly brilliant as Unai Simon between the sticks, then chances are they wouldn’t even have beaten Croatia, never mind beaten them 3-0.

The Athletic Club star made five saves in total in the win, including a penalty stop to deny Bruno Petkovic in the second half.

No one really expected Romania to be as bloody brilliant as they were against Ukraine, and yet they were thanks to the likes of Dennis Man.

The Parma winger was instrumental in the 3-0 win, setting up two of his side’s three goals on the day.

Dani Carvajal

Amazingly, the game against Croatia was 32-year-old six-time UEFA Champions League winner Dani Carvajal’s first ever Euros appearance.

That is a remarkable stat.

The veteran full-back marked his maiden Euros outing with a goal and a very impressive defensive outing. Nice one.

Toni Kroos

Toni Kroos attempted 102 passes against Scotland on Friday night.

He completed 101 of those passes.

The guy just does not lose the ball, and it’s key to everything that Germany do.

N'Golo Kante

We did not think N’Golo Kante was still this good.

Now playing his club football in a league no one watches (the Saudi Pro League), no one was really sure how much Kante still had left in the tank.

The answer? Quite a lot.

The 33-year-old was as dynamic as ever in France’s 1-0 win over Austria.

Fabian Ruiz

Fabian Ruiz left his mark with a stunning solo effort in Spain’s triumph over Croatia.

It was one of the many impressive bits of skill Fabian pulled out in the win.

Free from the shackles of Max Allegri-ball, Federico Chiesa looked back to his very best in Italy’s win over Albania.

The winger twisted his full-back inside-out on countless occasions throughout the win at Signal Iduna…
