EURO 2024: Five La Liga based players sparkle in Germany

Euro 2024 has reached its critical stage. Out of the 32 teams that entered with dreams of winning the title, only four remain, providing fans with outstanding individual performances along the way.

The younger generation have seemingly taken over on the big stage but five players from La Liga have shone brightest so far; two from Real Madrid, two from Barcelona and one from Athletic Bilbao. All five players are below the age of 22.

Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham has netted twice for England and left tongues wagging with his bicycle kick goal against Slovakia. He has recorded 88.4% passing accuracy, 13 successful dribbles and won six tackles. His country is a step away from reaching the final.

Jude’s club teammate Arda Guler added two assists to his peach of a goal for Turkey. The youngster also created seven chances as his country marched on to the quarterfinals.

Spain have been heavily reliant on the trio of Pedri, Williams and Yamal in their journey to the last four. Barcelona’s Pedri created 10 chances and added one assist before an injury against Germany ended his Euros run.
