Mbappe named in the best squad of the Euro 2024 group stage

Kylian Mbappe was named as the leading striker in the 11-man squad for the group stage, despite the Frenchman having only scored one goal so far at Euro 2024.

Mbappe's goal came from a penalty kick against Poland, not the usual "live ball" sprint, dribbling past the opposing defender and finishing seen in Mbappe.

Also in the group stage, the French captain did not play in the match where France drew 0-0 with the Netherlands. In addition, Mbappe did not play the entire opening match against Austria (France won 1-0 thanks to an own goal). He left the field after a collision with an Austrian defender that injured his nose.

Mbappe missed quite a few one-on-one opportunities with the opposing goalkeeper in the group stage, with at least two situations like this in the match against Austria, as well as two situations with the Polish goalkeeper that ended unsuccessfully.

Best XI players.

In the squad of 11 best players in the group stage, there are very worthy names such as midfielder Kevin De Bruyne (Belgium), Toni Kroos (Germany), center back Bastoni (Italy), or right back Kimmich (Germany).

Spain and Germany have the most players each: 2 players. The Spanish players include left-back Cucurella, midfielder Fabian Ruiz and right winger. The German players in this squad include Toni Kroos and Kimmich as mentioned.

Meanwhile, the most surprising player was goalkeeper Mamardashvili (Georgia). The Daily Mail itself made a mistake when drawing a graphic of Portuguese winger Bernando Silva as a Spaniard.

On the other hand, the worst squad of the Euro 2024 group stage surprisingly does not include Belgium striker Lukaku. This is a more surprising detail than Mbappe being named in the best squad.

Lukaku has had a number of unthinkable misses in Belgium’s three group stage matches, including a miss in front of an open goal. Lukaku has failed to score in the first stage of this year’s Euros, despite starting every game.

Worst XI of the group stage.

The most famous member of the worst XI of the group stage is Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. The other long-awaited figure from Italy, midfielder Frattesi, is quite reasonable to appear in this lineup.

The Inter Milan player had high expectations for this year's tournament, but his performance was very lackluster. Frattesi's lackluster performance caused Italy to be completely overwhelmed by Spain in the group stage.

Hungary had the most players in the worst squad: two players, including center-back Attila Fiola and left-back Milos Kerkez.
