Five players from European champion Italy and no Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappé nor Robert Lewandowski were picked in UEFA’s official team of the tournament announced on Tuesday.
The attacking trio included Federico Chiesa alongside Raheem Sterling of beaten finalist England and Romelu Lukaku of Belgium, which lost to Italy in the quarterfinals.
Ronaldo won the Golden Boot with five goals, the same as Patrick Schick of the Czech Republic who was also overlooked by UEFA’s expert panel of 16 coaches and former players.
Lukaku, who scored four goals in four games, is the only one of the six top scorers at Euro 2020 included in the lineup.
Mbappé did not score in four games and had his decisive spot-kick saved as France was eliminated by Switzerland in the round of 16.
