Ayoze Perez did not participate in the final due to being sidelined, but he did play in one of the matches leading up to the final and was part of the Euro 2024 winning team. The match was eventful, with England equalizing through a stunning Cole Palmer goal, but Spain triumphed 2-1 with goals from Nico Williams and Mikel Oyarzabal.
It was surprising to see Ayoze Perez in the Euro 2024 finals squad, as he made his debut in one of the preparation games before the tournament. He earned his second cap by coming off the bench in the group match against Italy.
When looking at former Leicester players who have won the Euros, Adrien Silva was part of the Portugal squad in 2016, playing in four matches, including starting in the final where he played 66 minutes.
Nikos Dabizas remains the most notable Leicester player in the context of the Euros, being the only one to win while at the club. He was part of the Greece squad that remarkably won the tournament in 2004. Theo Zagorakis, Greece’s captain and player of the tournament, had previously played for Leicester.
Leicester had four players in Euro 2024: Wout Faes for Belgium, and Victor Kristiansen, Jannik Vestergaard, and Mads Hermansen for Denmark.
Several former Leicester players also participated in the tournament, including Harry Kane (England), Ngolo Kante (France), Kasper Schmeichel (Denmark), Youri Tielemans and Timothy Castagne (Belgium), Andrej Kramaric (Croatia), and Yunus Akgun (Turkey).
