The World Cup-winning goalkeeper has faced the best in the business on a regular basis down the years and has faced embarrassment most of the times. It will be a battle of the best. Cristiano Ronaldo<\/strong> is the one of the best forward player while Manuel Neuer<\/strong> is the among the best goalkeepers.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Neuer is considered to embody what a modern day goalkeeper is all about, with the iconic German having been a No 1 that is as reliable with his feet as he is with his hands long before ball-playing options between the sticks became more common.\u00a0Ronaldo, at a muscly 6’1″ can grapple with the most physical defenders out there and use his valuable leaping ability to get over tall defenders. He can easily score some headers against Neuer through set pieces.\u00a0Ronaldo can shoot with tremendous power from a great distance and usually worry the goalkeeper.<\/p>\n

For us, the winner will be Cristiano Ronaldo<\/strong><\/span> in this\u00a0EURO 2020 Player Battle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Toni Kroos vs Bruno Fernandes<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Bruno Fernandes<\/strong> has undoubtedly been Manchester United’s greatest signing in the post Sir Alex Ferguson era. The Portuguese superstar has put in some talismanic performances for the\u00a0Red Devils<\/em>\u00a0and has started this season in blistering form. He will be facing an experienced midfielder who is best in his business. Toni Kroos<\/strong> will be vital for Germany in Euro 2020.<\/p>\n

Fernandes will be playing in his first major tournament for Portugal this summer.\u00a0Capable of scoring stunning goals and setting up teammates with equal ease, Fernandes will be hoping to continue his good form and inspire Portugal to win Euro 2020. Kroos is a highly talented individual whose contributions are underappreciated due to his more illustrious colleagues.<\/p>\n

For us, the winner will be Toni Kroos<\/span><\/strong> in this\u00a0EURO 2020 Player Battle.<\/p>\n

Kai Havertz vs Ruben Dias<\/strong><\/h3>\n

These two big names faced each other in the Champions League Final between Manchester City and Chelsea. Kai Havertz<\/strong> got a better night than Ruben Dias<\/strong> when he scored the only goal of the game. Dias will have another opportunity to take revenge against Havertz.<\/p>\n

Portugal can benefit tremendously with his presence at the back and he will be keen to get off to the right start ahead of sterner tests against Germany and France.\u00a0To throw further light into his impact at the club, it is worth noting that City conceded just one goal every other game on average with Dias at the heart of their defence. Havertz has a better knack of picking out teammates when playing higher up the pitch, using his strength to bring others into play.\u00a0With Werner never really excelling as the lead frontman, Havertz now seems the best fit to lead the charge for Germany.<\/p>\n

For us, the winner will be Ruben Dias<\/strong><\/span> in this\u00a0EURO 2020 Player Battle.<\/p>\n

Bernardo Silva vs Ilkay Gundogan<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This will be a clash between two teammates. Bernardo Silva<\/strong> and Ilkay Gundogan<\/strong> play for Manchester City in the midfield. It will be exciting to see that which player got the better of other.<\/p>\n

Bernardo Silva has not been a headline-grabber this season. But\u00a0Silva is one of Portugal’s most important players right now. The work he does on, and perhaps more importantly off the ball is absolutely crucial to their current style of play, which surely would not work without him.\u00a0The Portuguese midfielder can keep staying slightly behind the front line in the attacking phase as well, just like a typical false nine. By doing this, he drags opposition centre-backs out of position, opening up space in behind the defence for his teammates.<\/p>\n

Ilkay G\u00fcndogan has continued his great domestic form. He was an important player for Manchester City in this season’s campaign.\u00a0G\u00fcndogan has also improved as an all-round midfielder, especially in defence.\u00a0The German is yet another example of Pep Guardiola\u2019s managerial influence, renowned for his ability to re-invigorate players under his stewardship.<\/p>\n

For us, the winner will be Bernardo Silva<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0in this\u00a0EURO 2020 Player Battle.<\/p>\n

Thomas Muller vs Pepe<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The last time Portugal faced Germany, these two famous players were involved in a huge conflict. Pepe<\/strong> was given Red Card for an ill-tempered head butt on Muller. Thomas Muller<\/strong> scored hattrick in that match. Pepe will be looking for a revenge against him.<\/p>\n

For the past half-decade, Pepe has been a mainstay of the Portuguese national team, having started in each of Portugal\u2019s major tournaments since the 2008 UEFA European Football Championship.\u00a0He is totally dominant in the air and his supreme footballing intelligence also saw him make a number of key interventions with his feet.\u00a0Bayern Munich\u2019s golden thread has not only been recalled by Low but is seen in the country as one of the cornerstones if the team are to be successful at the Euros.\u00a0Muller is exactly the kind of trump card needed in a tournament of this magnitude in complex conditions.<\/p>\n

For us, the winner will be Thomas Muller<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0in this\u00a0EURO 2020 Player Battle.<\/p>\n
