The highest individual ratings in the Euro 2012.

8,20 : Xabi Alonso in Spain-France 2-0

Two goals - an elegant header and a penalty - and lots of hard work in offense and defense on his 100th match for la Roja.

8,20 : Cristiano Ronaldo in Portugal-Holland 2-1

Two goals and two shots on the woodwork to silent critics after the less brilliant match vs Denmark.

8,20 : Mario Gómez in Germany-Holland 2-1

Two goals, one powerful and one elegant, before leaving the pitch (Klose) in the 72nd minute.

8,20 : Andriy Shevchenko in Ukraine-Sweden 2-1

Wasted one good opportunity before scoring the two goals that turned the match around after Ibrahimovic's initial goal.

7,80 : Sami Khedira in Germany-Greece 4-2

Dominant on midfield: hard work and classy assists. Close to scoring on two occasions, gets the 2-1 goal with perfect timing.
