BERLIN, July 15 (Bernama-dpa) -- Midfielder Rodri from Euro 2024 champions Spain has been voted Player of the Tournament and team-mate Lamine Yamal the best young player on Sunday, sain German news agency (dpa).
Manchester City's Rodri pulled the strings in midfield as La Roja claimed a record fourth continental title with a 2-1 triumph over England.
Spain won all seven matches at the tournament in Germany. Rodri did not play the full final, not returning for the second half.
Barcelona winger Yamal was also influential with one goal and four assists, including for Sunday's opener by Nico Williams, and set various age records having only turned 17 on Saturday.
The awards were decided by a 12-strong jury of experts from the ruling body UEFA which included the likes of Italian Fabio Capello and Spain's Rafael Benitez.
Spain was also represented in the top scorer's award which Dani Olmo on three shared with five other players: England captain Harry Kane, Cody Gakpo of the Netherlands, Germany's Jamal Musiala, Ivan Schranz of Slovakia and Georgia's Georges Mikautadze.
