They’re fast, they’re tough, they push their team to the extreme. They are the shining stars of the Euro 2020 (2021) tournament this summer. From the great Cristiano Ronaldo and the young Kylian Mbappe to the English hope Harry Kane and the Belgian mastermind Kevin De Bruyne. Introducing greatness.
Cristiano Ronaldo - Portugal
|Some say he’s the best footballer right now, some say he’s the GOAT, but either way, the burden will be on Cristiano Ronaldo to lead the Portuguese to a second straight Euro title at Euro 2020, something that only the Spaniards of 2008 and 2012 have done.
Kylian Mbappe - France
|French striker Kylian Mbappe is perhaps the most exciting young talent in the football world today. His blend of mind-boggling athleticism and precociousness at such a young age make him a unique player in the footballing landscape, and a one to watch in the upcoming Euro 2020 tournament.
Harry Kane - England
|After decades of disappointment, England has got a great chance to break the curse at Euro 2020 thanks to a talented young squad led by skipper and striker Harry Kane, who is widely regarded as one of the best footballers in the world.
Kevin De Bruyne - Belgium
|This summer’s Euro 2020 will be Belgium’s best ever chance at a major trophy, and that has a lot to do with their heady attacking midfielder, Kevin De Bruyne. Over the past several years, De Bruyne’s play for his nation as well as his club, Manchester City, has earned him a reputation as one of the best footballers in the world.
Alvaro Morata - Spain
|In 2010, Spain was not just a dominant force in international football, they were THE dominant force. A decade on, and Spain is still a football powerhouse, but has noticeably fallen behind other European powers such as France, Belgium, and England, who all boast an impressive cache of young and exciting footballers. La Furia Roja can’t match up with those teams in terms of raw talent, but a well-coached and disciplined Spanish squad is definitely still a threat, especially with Alvaro Morata at the head of the beast.
