I just need to put this out there. My best Spanish Player at this Euros (and one of my best 3 young players of the entire Tournament) is undoubtedly Pedri. No goals, no assists, no shots on target and no shots overall but you could see his Impact. He even contributed to an own goal but that doesn't dent the boy's shine. Football is not limited to goals + assists only. Or how many shots you had. There are other parameters to always observe. Like, Pedri completed all his passes during the normal duration vs Italy in the Semis. Pedri after 90 minutes against Italy for Spain: ▶️55 passes attempted ▶️55 passes completed 100% passing accuracy. Pedri after extra time against Italy: ▶️67 passes attempted ▶️65 passes completed 97% passing accuracy. Created chances and showed control + maturity on one of the biggest stages of international football from the first round to the semis. Pedri's entire Euros stats: ▶️6 games played (all full games) ▶️91% pass accuracy ▶️544 touches ▶️421 passes completed ▶️25 ball recoveries ▶️25 duels won ▶️13 fouls won ▶️11 chances created ▶️7 tackles ▶️4 interceptions ▶️3 take-ons ▶️3 big chances created Just 18 and already a masterclass midfield dictator. A lad I have carefully followed since the U-17 WC in 2019 where our own Amoo and Tijani starred in as well. There is practically no kind of pass that kid cannot give. A baller who could go on and become a real monster of a midfielder in his own rights. Even the great Iniesta wasn't this good at 18 in a major tournament. Yep, the Spanish coach, Luis Enrique said this much and I concur. In Pedri, Spain have another midfield master on the rise. A bonafide Midfield baller. Remember the name.... Pedro Gonzalez Lopez AKA Pedri. The finest of the Pass-Pass-and-inshallah lads at this Euros. ![]() One for the present and future of Spanish football when we talking the middle game of the Beautiful game. **Stats numbers courtesy of Squawka and Sofascore #EurosDiary 8 Likes 4 Shares

Once upon a time, there was a 17 yrs old masterclass teen talent called Edson Arantes Dos Nascimento AKA Dico but popularly called Pele who balled like none other have done at a World cup (AT THAT AGE) both before him and even after him. Pedri is very special and perhaps no Spanish teen talent has set the Euros alight like he did in their entire Euros history but expanding it beyond the Spanish Scope, don't forget a certain 18 yrs old Wayne "Wonder" Rooney absolutely bossed Euro 2004. No doubt Pedri's Euro 2020 showing will go down as one of the greatest performances for a teen talent at a major international Competition but the likes of Rooney at 18 in the Euros and Pele at 17 in the World cup still supercedes what Pedri has achieved at Euros 2020. Even Mbappe at 19 in Russia 2018 delivered a masterclass. There are a few more yet if I dig but yes, Pedri joins this elite list of top prodigious showings at Major International tournaments. andrewbaba44: 3 Likes 1 Share |

Celtic new signing Osaze Urhoghide has revealed why he chose the Scottish club over several Premier League, who were queuing up to sign him. The young defender’s performances reportedly attracted interest from a host of top clubs including Crystal Palace and Leeds United in the Premier League. However, he said he chose to move to Celtic because of the “culture” at Parkhead and the chance to develop his game. The highly-rated 21-year-old Urhoghide moved to the Scottish Premiership side on a four-year contract last week from Sheffield Wednesday following an impressive campaign with ‘The Owls’, where he made 16 appearances in the Championship. |

You are right at Bolded. At this Euros, both wingbacks from Atalanta have played LWB for their national teams. The difference is that Gosens at club level is a LWB and is naturally "left footed" whereas Maehle is a "right footed" wingback who can feature at both RWB and LWB roles but he is predominantly a RWB from his time at Genk alongside Onuachu and his time at Atalanta in the second half of the 20/21 season saw him play more on the right than on the left. And yes, Atalanta players and Serie A players in general have been brilliant at this euros. A good shout for the Serie A. And I dey tell you, that assist is Crazy. Mad technique. Perfectly timed. My best assist of the Euros. Na wetin Onuachu been dey enjoy with the lad at Genk before him move to Atalanta. andrewbaba44: 2 Likes 2 Shares |
