It's been an absolutely sensational summer of football, culminating in Italy's dramatic defeat of England, but who were the best players on show?
GettyGK: Gigi Donnarumma (Italy)
The imminent arrival of Gigi Donnarumma on a free transfer already looked like a sensational bit of business by Paris Saint-Germain – now it is looking like one of the best deals in history.
The 22-year-old was utterly immense as Italy won Euro 2020 in dramatic fashion, with their giant of a goalkeeper saving two penalties in the final, including the decisive spot-kick from Bukayo Saka.
The Arsenal teenager deserves the utmost sympathy for his miss because there is no more intimidating shot-stopper in the world right now, as underlined by the fact that Donnarumma is five for five in terms of shootouts, for club and country.
UEFA's Player of the Tournament and our obvious choice for the No.1 jersey.

Atalanta have done it again: the masters of the transfer market have unearthed another gem.
Just over six months after signing Joakim Maehle from Genk for just €10 million (£8.5m/$11.9m), the versatile wing-back is now arguably worth three times that amount thanks to his sensational displays for surprise semi-finalists Denmark.
Despite being right-footed, Maehle proved a phenomenon on the left flank, scoring two goals and creating another.
Indeed, the 24-year-old produced the most outrageous assist of the tournament by finding Kasper Dolberg in the area with a stunning outside-of-the-boot cross in the quarter-final win over Czech Republic.
GettyCB: Leonardo Bonucci (Italy)
What was truly incredible about Leonardo Bonucci's Man of the Match-winning performance in the final was just how ridiculously easy it made it all look.
He was calmness personified. On two separate occasions, he nonchalantly flicked headers back to Donnarumma, even though Raheem Sterling was close by, looking to pounce on any mistake.
Bonucci, though, turned in a flawless, outrageously composed display.
His passing, as always, was sensational, while he was also on hand to score the crucial equaliser when Marco Verratti's header came back off the post.
Bonucci has sometimes been accused of playing as more of a midfielder than a defender. At Euro 2020, he proved himself one of the most complete centre-backs of the modern era.
GettyCB: Giorgio Chiellini (Italy)
How on earth could we pick anyone other than Giorgio Chiellini to play alongside Bonucci in the heart of our defence?
Italy's greatest warrior won what is likely to be his final battle in the international arena with the kind of spirited showing that made a mockery of his 36 years.
Harry Kane dropped deep to great effect in the first half, but Chiellini did not afford the England striker a single chance in the area.
And on the one occasion that Saka got away from him, the Juventus man ruthlessly hauled the Arsenal teenager to the floor, creating an image that quickly went viral. Chiellini simply was not going to be denied his crowning moment of glory.
There was no worthier recipient of the Henri Delaunay trophy than the Azzurri's inspirational captain, whose status as one of the game's all-time greats is now complete.
