Best individual performances.

Xavi Hernandez, who was named the tournament's MVP because of his performance in Spain's first match and the tournament final, and Sergio Ramos were lauded broadly for their performances. Spanish, Dutch and Portuguese players dominate both lists, in agreement with the consensus of many soccer analysts who identified these teams as the ones that played the best soccer. Indeed, a large number of the players on the list (marked with *) also appear in the “Team of the tournament” selected by the UEFA Technical Team.

哈维·埃尔南德斯（Xavi Hernandez）凭借在西班牙队首战及赛事决赛中的赛场发挥，获评本次赛事最有价值球员（MVP），他与塞尔吉奥·拉莫斯（Sergio Ramos）的表现广受赞誉。西班牙、荷兰与葡萄牙的球员占据了两份榜单的绝大多数席位，这与诸多足球分析师的共识高度契合——这些分析师均将上述三支球队认定为本次赛事中竞技水准最为出色的队伍。事实上，榜单中标注有星号（*）的大量球员，同时也入选了欧洲足球协会联盟（UEFA）技术委员会评选的「赛事最佳阵容」。
