    The winner of the UEFA Euro 2024 Player of the Tournament was confirmed in an official announcement after the final game of the competition.

    Spain achieved a double triumph in the Euro 2024 individual awards, with Rodri winning the Player of the Tournament prize and Lamine Yamal taking home the Young Player of the Tournament award.

    Luis de la Fuente’s side were the best team from start to finish this summer, leaving little room for complaints about their success in Germany.

    Manchester City midfielder Rodri continued his ruthless run of glory with an unbeaten summer. His campaign nearly hit a snag when he was substituted at halftime in the final against England, likely due to injury. However, missing the all-important final 45 minutes did not tarnish his reputation, as Rodri ultimately secured the Player of the Tournament prize.

    Yamal had been among the favourites to win the overall individual award but was always expected to secure the Young Player of the Tournament trophy. The teenager, who broke Pelé’s record as the youngest male starter in a major tournament final, dazzled throughout the competition, finishing with four assists and a stunning strike in the semi-final.

    Truthfully, there were several Spain players deserving of individual honours at the end of this impressive campaign. Fabian Ruiz and Dani Olmo both shone in midfield, while Athletic Club winger Nico Williams concluded his tournament with a goal in the final.
