Best XI ever - Euro Championship Finals

Yes, it has come to this already...

Best XI for their performances in European Championship final tournaments ever**


----------------Schemeichel------------
Lahm------Blanc---Pepe--Maldini
---------------Matthaus--------
----------Xavi----------Platini---------
----------------Guillit----------
------Van Basten----Ronaldo----

So many great options, so a lot of very good performers missing.



** well, my watching lifetime anyway.

Put the Greek win to group effectiveness rather than individuals.
Brian Laudrup doesn't get in that xi imo.

yeah Michael Laudrup is a good shout

Euro 84 especially

the older, better Laudrup brother, Michael, must be in with a shout of the XI, surely ?

Dunno, did he really do enough in 84 to get in? 88 was a bit of a disaster and he stayed on the beach in 92.
Would say Brian beats Michael in Euros.

Lahm and Maldini never won it.

Ramos over Lahm easily.

LB maybe Lizarazu or Capdevilla

Don't have to win something to be the best player in a position.
Ramos at RB??? Nah thanks.

It’s hard to say someone’s the best if they don’t capture the title at some point.

Ramos played RB at Euro 2008 & WC 2010, and became Champion at both tournaments.

WC 2010 is irrelevant.
It isn't hard to say someone is the best if they didn't win it. I found it very easy.
