Several Manchester City players had successful campaigns at Euro 2024, with Rodri winning the tournament as Spain’s vice-captain. Other players, such as Manuel Akanji, Ruben Dias, Nathan Ake, and John Stones, performed well for their respective national teams. Despite Kevin De Bruyne’s impressive individual displays for Belgium, the team was eliminated in the Round of 16. Some City players, like Phil Foden and Kyle Walker, did not meet expectations during the championship.

Manuel Akanji was named in the Euro 2024 Team of the Tournament, alongside two Manchester City players, Walker and Rodri. Akanji stood out as one of Switzerland’s key players, forming a strong defensive partnership and showcasing his reading of the game and passing range. Despite his missed penalty that led to Switzerland’s exit, Akanji’s performances at the tournament were impressive and deserving of the honor.

Akanji was hailed as one of the best centre-backs at Euro 2024, alongside France’s William Saliba. His dominance in duels, positioning, and tackling were exemplary throughout the competition. Despite the disappointment of Switzerland’s elimination, Akanji can be proud of his inclusion in the Team of the Tournament, reflecting the recognition of his outstanding performances.
