Youngster Lamine Yamal was on fire at the European Championships, and his goal made the world remember the name of the 17-year-old and became the youngest goalkeeper. In contrast, the big names are not so smooth.
Just look at these talented teenagers, 21-year-old Jamal· Musiala and Florian · Wirtz for the hosts' Germany; Xavi scored a stunning goal in the semi-final against England and, although Netherlands were eventually eliminated, he has grown into a hot midfield star in European football.
Speaking of veterans, the names of Ronaldo, Mbappe, and Harry Kane seem to be left with regrets.
Especially Cristiano Ronaldo, who is 39 years old and still wants to break the record, but after five games, he didn't score a single goal, and he became the object of selfies of fans. Mbappe broke his nose against Austria and France also stopped in the semi-finals; Harry Kane reached the final but his form has been up and down.
Let's talk about VAR, as soon as this thing came out, the controversy never stopped. Sometimes it's accurate, sometimes it's confusing.
In the 1/8 final between Denmark and Germany, Anderson's goal was blown and in the blink of an eye he gave Germany a penalty, and the fans were confused.
In the semi-final of the Netherlands, the penalty given by VAR directly changed the trend of the game, and even the Netherlands coach complained that VAR ruined football.
Also, there is no absolute belly team in Euro 2024, and small country teams also dare to go head-to-head with traditional strong teams, Georgia win Portugal, Albania lead in two of the three games, and Slovenia is unbeaten in regular time until the penalty shootout, which was eliminated by Portugal.
