#3 Eden Hazard (Belgium)

Regarded as one of the best wingers in world football during his spell with Chelsea, Eden Hazard's Real Madrid spell has not gone according to plan.

Having enjoyed seven trophy laden years with Chelsea, Hazard joined Real Madrid in 2019 for £103.5 million, amid much fanfare. However, the 30-year old has struggled with injuries since his arrival and has barely featured for Real Madrid due to fitness issues.

The Belgium international will be keen to make an impact at Euro 2020 for his country, but given his recent form, it seems unlikely. With the likes of Romelu Lukaku and Kevin De Bruyne in fine form, they could outshine Hazard at Euro 2020.


#2 Raheem Sterling (England)

Manchester City were in stunning form throughout the 2020-21 season, but Raheem Sterling endured a quiet season for his club.

Sterling is one of the most experienced players in England's Euro 2020 squad. He made 28 Premier League starts for Manchester City, scoring 10 goals and providing seven assists. The 26-year old produced some subdued performances this season. It will surely be a cause for concern for England manager Gareth Southgate heading into Euro 2020.

Sterling has 61 caps for England and has scored 14 goals. He will likely start for England at Euro 2020, but with the attacking talent the Three Lions have had, a few patchy performances could see him be dropped.


#1 Robert Lewandowski (Poland)

Arguably the best player in world football at the moment, putting Robert Lewandowski on this list is by no means a criticism of his talent or quality.

However, there are questions over Poland's squad for Euro 2020. The likes of Mateusz Klich, Jan Bednarek and Lukasz Fabianski have enjoyed fairly good seasons in the Premier League. But with Spain, Sweden and Slovakia in their Euro 2020 group the job is not going to be easy for Paulo Sousa's side.

There will be immense pressure on Lewandowski to perform at Euro 2020. The 32-year old, who scored 41 goals in just 28 Bundesliga starts for Bayern Munich, has 118 caps for Poland. He has scored 66 international goals.
