European football governing body, UEFA on Tuesday, announced the Euro 2020 team of the tournament with the competition’s top scorer, Cristiano Ronaldo left out of the starting lineup.
Ronaldo clinched the golden boot award at the Euros with five goals, but his effort was not enough to guarantee the Portuguese international a place in the team as penciled down by UEFA’s technical observer team.
However, five players from champions Italy and three from runners-up England made the final selection.
Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma – who was named the Player of the tournament – along with defenders Leonardo Bonucci and Leonardo Spinazzola, midfielder Jorginho and winger Federico Chiesa were all selected in the line-up.
Italy won the Euros for the first time since 1968, as Donnarumma saved two England penalties en route to a 3-2 shootout win after the teams played out a 1-1 draw at Wembley.
England right back, Kyle Walker, centre back Harry Maguire and forward Raheem Sterling were also included in the team of the tournament.
Young Player of the tournament, Pedri was also among the top 11 players, alongside Denmark’s Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Belgium’s Romelu Lukaku.
Sterling scored three goals for England, while Lukaku scored four times for Belgium, who were knocked out by Italy in the quarterfinals.
