Five players from UEFA EURO 2020 winners Italy and three from the runners-up England have been named in the UEFA EURO 2020 Team of the Tournament. A player each from Belgium, Denmark and Spain complete the line-up, which was selected by UEFA’s technical observer team.

Gianluigi Donnarumma (Italy); Kyle Walker (England), Leonardo Bonucci (Italy), Harry Maguire (England), Leonardo Spinazzola (Italy); Jorginho (Italy), Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (Denmark), Pedri (Spain); Federico Chiesa (Italy), Romelu Lukaku (Belgium), Raheem Sterling (England)

The line-up was selected by UEFA’s technical observer team, which was made up of 16 former players and former/current coaches including Ireland’s Packie Bonner and Robbie Keane; Scotland’s David Moyes and Spain’s Gines Melendez.
