GK- Iker Casillas - Lifted his third successive major trophy as Spain captain, and has gone through the knockout rounds of all 3 tournaments without conceding, also became the first international player to win 100 matches.
RB - Joao Pereira - Having only made his international debut in 2010 at the age of 26, the Portugal full-back has only just started to live up to his full potential. Valencia were relieved to seal a move for Pereira before the tournament started as the right back starred with some excellent defensive and attacking perfomnaces.
CB - Mats Hummels - A Centre back with all round ability; pace, height and composure on the ball, Hummels has formed a solid partnership with Holger Badstuber which should be the heart of the German defence for years to come.
CB - Leonardo Bonucci - A partnership formed at club level with Giorgio Chiellini, Bonucci was the lesser known of the two but averaged more interceptions and clearances than his teammate.
LB - Jordi Alba - A fee of €14m looks like it could be one of the bargains of the year for Barcelona who add another creative fullback to their ranks. Alba finished with a goal, an assist and a pass completion percentage of 91%.
RM - Vaclav Pilar - In a tournament devoid of any real breakthrough stars, the 'Czech Messi' perhaps created the biggest name for himself during the tournament. Guiding the Czech Republic to the quarter finals where he looked the only real threat against Portugal. Finished with 2 goals (50% of his team's) and sealed a £1m move to Wolfsburg to boot.
CM - Xavi - Not surprisingly Xavi finished with the best passing percentage out of any player to have played at least 3 games (92%). Put in a masterful performance in the final with two sumptuous assists.
CM - Andrea Pirlo - At times Pirlo was a one man team for the Italians, a custodian in possession and a source of creativity, finished with 2 assists and 1 goal.
CM - Steven Gerrard - The England captain lead his team through the group stages, finishing with 3 assists (joint most in the tournament), again showing why he's been one of the worlds best midfielders in the past decade
LM - Andres Iniesta - Awarded official player of the tournament by UEFA, technical director Andy Roxborough said: "Picking Iniesta as the best player of Euro 2012 sends a message about creativity, incisive football and humility."
The midfielder was Spain's attacking focal point in a team that often played without a striker and warrants his place among the greats despite no goals and only one assist.
ST - Fernando Torres - A tournament without a real exceptional striker, Torres takes his place as golden boot winner with 3 goals and 1 assist in just 189 minutes of football.
