Mikel Oyarzabal 🥈

Not the most flashy name on the Spanish team, but what elegance and efficiency from the Real Sociedad player. Author of a magnificent deflection on the first Spanish goal, Oyarzabal then transformed into a finisher to give Spain a temporary advantage.

Another full match for the top scorer in Roja's history in a final.

Nuno Mendes 🥇

Enormous end to the season for the Portuguese, a week after his Champions League title, the PSG full-back tormented the Spanish right flank. Scoring his first goal for the national team to bring Portugal back into the match, Nuno Mendes once again accelerated the Seleção on Cristiano Ronaldo's goal, before calmly converting his penalty kick.

In addition to being a constant threat, the Portuguese full-back even had the luxury of neutralizing Lamine Yamal, who was hardly seen during the match. And what if he was the best full-back in the world?
