UEFA released their official Euro 2020 Team of the tournament, and it caused a lot of controversies. There are bound to be a few players who miss out on the team, but the inclusion of Romelu Lukaku over the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Patrik Schick turned a lot of heads.

The player of the tournament, Gigi Donnarumma, and the young player of the tournament, Pedri, made the team. Italian defenders Leonardo Bonucci and Leonardo Spinazzola featured in defense alongside England’s Harry Maguire and Kyle Walker.

Denmark’s Pierre Emile Hojberg and Italy’s Jorginho joined Pedri in midfield as Raheem Sterling, Romelu Lukaku, and Federico Chiesa rounded out the attack and the lineup. Italy had the most representatives, with five players on the team.

However, there were a lot of questions about players like Ronaldo, Paul Pogba, Luke Shaw, and Joakim Maehle, who missed out on the eleven after putting in some exceptional performances. Shaw was exceptional in this tournament and was one of the best fullbacks alongside the Danish Maehle.

The team was released on Twitter by the official account of UEFA EURO 2020. There was some talk of Switzerland goalkeeper Yann Sommer missing out, but Donnarumma was the better player throughout the tournament, and his saves ensured that Italy won in the final.

However, this was not enough to warrant a place in the final team of the tournament, as fans pointed at his three penalties.
