5. David De Gea

The Manchester United goalkeeper conceded only two goals in the tournament, and that too only in the final. He has already completed a successful season with the Red Devils in spite of the undeserved criticism that he received at the beginning of his stint.

De Gea looked a leader on the pitch, organising his back four and putting up solid displays. Spain could not have wanted any more from him. It remains to be seen when he gets his chance with the senior side.
