Belgium’s Kevin De Bruyne stands alone as Europe’s best player at present after knocking France’s Dimitri Payet off top spot in the UEFA player Barometer at EURO 2016.

Payet had led the player ratings at EURO 2016 for all but one day since the start of the tournament but this week falls to second after De Bruyne inspired the Belgians to a comprehensive 4-0 victory over Hungary in the last 16.
