The Reds skipper was outstanding at the heart of the defence after recovering from the injury that kept him out of the climax to the domestic season, scoring a header against Ukraine in the quarter-final and powering home his penalty in the final shoot-out with Italy.

Paul Pogba also excelled for France and would surely have been a contender for Player of the Tournament had the pre-finals favourites progressed further in the competition than the last 16.
