Dani Olmo (Spain): Spain's Dani Olmo has been one of the most lethal attacking midfielders at this summer's Euros. Stepping in for the injured Pedri, Olmo has netted three goals, making him a joint leader in the Euro 2024 scoring charts.

Additionally, with two assists to his name, he is a strong contender for the Golden Boot. As Spain head into the final, Olmo will be the pivotal figure in orchestrating their attacking play.

Rodri (Spain): Despite Spain's rich attacking prowess, one man who has stood out in almost every game is this Manchester City midfielder. Rodri has been immense in protecting the backline as well as helping in the attack. Time and time he has shown his capabilities in clutch moments and the final could see again the very best of him.

Kobbie Mainoo (England): Ollie Watkins may have received most of the praise for his winning goal however one player who has been pretty impressive for England throughout the tournament is this Manchester United midfielder.

In a more pragmatic set-up, Mainoo has been the main player carrying the ball in a more advanced area. The likes of Bellingham and Kane will be pretty dependent on the young midfielder's acumen in the final for sure.

Bukayo Saka (England): Bukayo Saka has been the biggest attacking threat for England playing on the right-hand side. He scored a decisive goal against Switzerland and also was impressive playing in the new right wing-back role recently. His performance against Spain's left-back Cucurella will be crucial.
