Blaszczykowski may come as a surprise to many, but the midfielder had a fantastic campaign at the Euros despite missing his penalty against the Portuguese in the quarter-finals of the tournament. The midfielder scored two and set up one for the Polish at the European Championships while maintaining an impressive pass completion rate of 83.5%.

Not only did he contribute to the front line throughout the tournament, he also proved to be a dependable player in helping the defense. With 5 key tackles and 20 ball recoveries, he was one of the tournament's best performers and was the key player in his side’s progress to the quarterfinals of the Euros.
