Spain's midfielder reacted superbly on the goal line in the dying minutes of the showdown to save his team after Guehi's header
What a tournament for Dani Olmo! What a spectacular triumph of the hard-working, low-profile guy who becomes one of his team's most prominent heroes!
Although he started the Euro 2024 on the bench, the 26-year-old ended the tournament with a joint Golden Boot award (he scored three goals), along with two assists to his name.
However, RB Leipzig's midfielder raised in Barca's academy, will also be praised for his extraordinary defending in the dying moments of the final against England.
The Three Lions desperately rushed for a last-gasp equalizer, and Unai Simon stopped Declan Rice's header, but Marc Guehi was there for a rebound from close range. The Spanish keeper was miles away from the ball, which would have ended in the back of the net if it had not been for Olmo.
