JONAS HECTOR
Identified as a weak link for Germany, the left-back scored the winning penalty against Italy but has also been one of Die Mannschaft’s most consistent.
HUGO LORIS
We all know how good he is, but the French keeper has made a number of crucial saves at crucial times and allowed Payet and Griezmann to take the glory.
NEIL TAYLOR
Like Hector for Germany, much of Wales’ attacking play has come down the left-hand side with Taylor’s delivery and energy crucial to their gameplan.
PEPE
Among the most despised players in the world but – Hungary aside – the veteran has been among the tournament’s best defenders. It just hurts to say so.
MARCO PAROLO
Italy could have listed a starting XI of injured midfielders for Euro 2016 but stepping up has been Parolo who’s tackled, harried and passed to perfection.
