10. Virgil Van Dijk (Netherlands)
The biggest star of the Dutch national team had a perfect run before reaching the final phase of Euro 2024. After missing the 2022/2023 season, Virgil Van Dijk has regained his form this year.

The 32-year-old midfielder will be a solid support point in defense so that the attacking players can carry out their duties safely.
However, with the lack of outstanding factors and the biggest star in the central defense position, many experts do not appreciate that the Dutch team can advance deeply in this year’s tournament.
9. Jamal Musiala (Germany)
People expect a lot from young talent Florian Wirtz after spending a near-perfect season with Bayer Leverkusen. However, it must be remembered that this is the Bayer star’s first major tournament with the German national team, so the 20-year-old’s performance will remain a question mark.

That is why Jamal Musiala is the factor that plays an important role in helping the “Tank” advance deeply in the local tournament. The Bayern Munich striker is the type of player who can create breakthroughs thanks to his deft dribbling ability. In the offensive line that coach Julian Nagelsmann has this time, no one shines more than Jamal Musiala.
8. Kevin De Bruyne (Belgium)
The peak years are coming to an end for Kevin De Bruyne. At 33 years old, it is probably too early to say whether or not the Euro 2024 finals will be the last major team-level tournament for the captain of the “European Red Devils”.

However, when the Manchester City star began considering a move to Saudi Arabia to play football, it meant his desire to compete in the highest level football environment had diminished somewhat. Therefore, the player who has just celebrated 100 caps for the Belgian national team wants to contribute something special to the local team in this year’s European Championship.
7. Luka Modric (Croatia)
Runner-up in the 2018 World Cup, third place in the 2022 World Cup, round of 16 at the 2016 Euro Cup, 2020 and runner-up in the 2023 UEFA Nations League. These are Croatia’s achievements in recent major tournaments at the national level. of Equipements .

Of course, to contribute to this success we cannot fail to mention Luka Modric. The 38-year-old midfielder’s tenacity and creativity have returned Croatian football to its peak for almost a decade.
Given that the Euro 2024 finals are the Real Madrid midfielder’s final stage, he will surely want to show his best instead of saying goodbye.
6. Harry Kane (England)
He always has a stable performance with the club and national team shirt, but all the titles turn his back on Harry Kane. The European Golden Boot for the 2023/2024 season is eager to win the first title of his career.

Perhaps there is no need to say much about Harry Kane’s importance to the England team. The former Tottenham captain is still playing effectively but will need a bit of luck to create something special with the Three Lions stars in Germany this summer. The British are desperate to quench their thirst for a 64-year-old Euro title.
5. Phil Foden (United Kingdom)
Despite having one of the best seasons of his career, upon returning to the England team, Phil Foden’s performance in the international friendly prior to the Euro 2024 finals with Iceland was not very convincing.

Phil Foden is still struggling to get used to manager Gareth Southgate’s tactics because it is not the same way he plays at Man City under Pep Guardiola.
Therefore, the ability to shine in the upcoming Euro Cup final will remain a question mark for players born in 2000. However, he will continue to be one of the Three Lions’ shining stars alongside Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane.
4. Bruno Fernandez (Portugal)
In the 2023/2024 season, MU has a disappointing year even though it still has the FA Cup title. However, Bruno Fernandes always maintains an impressive performance.
MU’s player of the season was named player of the season 114 times for creating opportunities for his teammates to score, but the Old Trafford team’s offensive players only took advantage of it 13 times.

Returning to the Portuguese national team, playing alongside excellent forwards such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Diogo Jota, Joao Félix, Rafael Leao, Bruno Fernandes’ creative ability will bring better results and make an important contribution to Portugal’s advancement to the finals of the Euro 2024.
3. Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal)
In his sixth participation in the Euro Cup final, it is difficult to ask Cristiano Ronaldo at 39 years old to be able to shine like the previous five times. But on this list it would be a mistake not to include one of the best players in the world.

Although his influence has waned, Cristiano Ronaldo’s ability to score goals has not diminished. In his second season at Al Nassr, the Portuguese star scored 50 goals in 51 games.
He is currently the best striker in Euro Cup history with 14 goals in 5 appearances. The 39-year-old striker himself also wants to improve his achievements in the tournament in Germany.
2. Jude Bellingham (United Kingdom)
After a sublime year with Real Madrid with the treble of La Liga, the Spanish Super Cup and the UEFA Champions League, Jude Bellingham’s value rose rapidly.
The player currently valued at €180 million will be one of the Three Lions’ biggest stars this summer.

Unlike three years ago in the Euro 2020 finals, the 20-year-old midfielder’s influence on the England team this year will be very different following his notable growth in the Spanish Royal National Team.
1. Kylian Mbappé (France)
Not only is Real Madrid the strongest team in the world right now, but they also have the lucky partner when in their star-studded team, the current La Liga champions possess three of the most valuable players in the world: Vinicius Junior. Jude Bellingham and recently Kylian Mbappé.

The brightest star of the French national team really wants to complete the great title that is missing from his collection at the team level: winning the Euro Cup.
Next season’s Real Madrid player aims to equal senior Thierry Henry’s record of 51 goals for the French national team this summer. At that time, Mbappé had 46 goals for the blue team.
