Harry Kane

He is recognized for his accurate shooting, aerial prowess, and ability to link up play. Kane’s leadership qualities and all-round contribution to the game have established him as one of the top strikers in the world. Can he lead England to their first piece of silverware since 1966?
Rodri
Rodri is expected to play a crucial role for the Spanish national team. He is known for his excellent ball-winning abilities, tactical awareness, and precise passing. These qualities make him an essential player in the Spanish midfield, as he can effectively break up opposition attacks and initiate counter-attacks with his accurate distribution.
Rodri’s ability to read the game and make intelligent decisions on the pitch is highly valued by his teammates and coaches. He is also a strong leader on the field, often taking responsibility for organizing the team’s defensive shape and communicating with his fellow players.
Kylian Mbappé
Kylian Mbappé’s offensive prowess makes him a key factor for France at Euro 2024 due to his exceptional speed, clinical finishing, and ability to create chances. His record of 46 goals in 77 international appearances1 showcases his goal-scoring capabilities. Mbappé’s versatility allows him to play across the front line, and his dribbling skills can unsettle any defense. His youthful energy and experience in big matches, including his leadership as the captain of Les Bleus, will be instrumental in driving France’s attack and making them one of the favorites for the tournament
As France aims to reclaim the European Championship title in 2024, Kylian Mbappé will undoubtedly be one of their most important players. His explosive style of play, combined with his winning mentality, makes him a key man for his country and a formidable opponent for any team.
Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal’s talisman and one of the greatest footballers of all time, enters Euro 2024 with the weight of a nation on his shoulders. At 39 years old, this tournament could be his last opportunity to add another international trophy to his illustrious career. Ronaldo remains a key figure for Portugal, not only for his exceptional goalscoring ability but also for his leadership and experience. His presence in the team provides a sense of stability and inspiration for his younger teammates. Despite his age, Ronaldo has shown no signs of slowing down, and his determination to win another major title with Portugal will undoubtedly be a driving force for the team throughout the tournament.
Kevin De Bruyne
Kevin De Bruyne, the talismanic midfielder for Belgium, heads into Euro 2024 as a pivotal figure. At 32 years old, this tournament could be the last chance for Belgium’s ‘golden generation’ to capture major silverware.
De Bruyne is the orchestrator of Belgium’s attacking play, providing vision, creativity, and pinpoint passing. His ability to create chances for his teammates and score goals himself makes him a constant threat. With his experience and leadership, he is also a calming influence on the younger players in the squad.
As Belgium’s captain, De Bruyne carries the hopes of a nation that is eager to see its talented team achieve success. His performances at Euro 2024 could determine whether Belgium’s golden generation goes down in history as one that fulfilled its potential or one that fell just short.
So the question remains… Who is going to be your Gamechanger to Watch? And more importantly who do you have winning this year’s Euro 2024?
