His consistency and ability to perform at the highest level have been key to both Manchester City’s and Spain’s recent successes.
In the final, Spain denied England once more thanks to second-half goals from Nico Williams and Mikel Oyarzabal with Cole Palmer getting one for the Three Lions which was not enough.
For England, they continue to wait in disappointment having lost the final of the 2020 edition against Italy.
