MARC Guehi has been named in Opta’s team of the tournament after his performances at Euro 2024 in Germany.
Crystal Palace defender Guehi helped England reach the final, where they lost 2-1 to Spain in Berlin on Sunday night.
Guehi, 24, played in six games, only missing the 2-1 win over Holland in the quarter-finals as he served a one-match ban.
Guehi became the first Eagles player to feature in a European Championship final as Gareth Southgate’s side couldn’t prevent Spain from winning a fourth title.
He was the only England player in the XI.
Opta’s said: “His start against Serbia in England’s opening game was only his ninth in a Three Lions shirt, but [Guehi] was one of their most consistent and assured performers as England lost in the final.
“The Crystal Palace man was strong in his duels and calm in possession. He contested (29) and won (13) more aerial duels throughout the tournament than any other England player, led the team for blocks (6) and completed 66 passes per 90 minutes at an accuracy of 93.5 per cent. Only John Stones (68.5 and 93.9 per cent) could better those tallies.”
