Coming into the competition as defending champions, Portugal will once again be looking towards Cristiano Ronaldo (€12.0m) to inspire them to glory. Ronaldo comes into the tournament in good form for club and country. On the domestic scene the Portuguese captain has just completed an historic campaign for Juventus in which he finished the season as the leagues top goalscorer with 29 goals. In doing so Ronaldo became the first man in history to have been top goalscorer in England, Spain and Italy during his career. Meanwhile, during European qualifying, Ronaldo scored in each of Portugal’s last six European qualifiers, netting 11 in total.

Overlooked when it came to Spain’s 2018 FIFA World Cup squad, Álvaro Morata (€9.0m) has been welcomed back into the fold since Luis Enrique took over the national side in July 2018. Since then he has rewarded the faith shown, contributing four goals along with an assist in six appearances during Spain’s successful qualifying campaign. The Juventus loanee looks set to be tasked with leading the line at the upcoming Championship and has form when it comes to performing in a European finals. Back at UEFA EURO 2016 only Antoine Griezmann, with six, scored more goals than Morata. In terms of form he arrives at the Championships in a rich vein having scored 20 goals for Juventus in 44 appearances this season, a total he’s only matched once previously back in 2016-17 for Real Madrid.

Verdict: Cristiano Ronaldo
