Manchester City had 14 players participate in the 2024 European Championship, more than any other Premier League team. Former City player Aymeric Laporte, now playing for Al Nassr, received praise for his performances during the tournament. Phil Thompson commended Laporte’s playing style and remarked on his improved form, particularly in comparison to his time at City.

Laporte showcased his skills during the Euros, playing in six of Spain’s seven matches and demonstrating his defensive prowess with 27 clearances. Despite leaving City in the previous summer transfer window, Laporte’s impact on the Spanish national team was evident through his significant minutes on the field and contributions to the team’s success.
