Most Dribbles Euro 2016
Gareth Bale was instrumental in Wales reaching the semi-finals of Euro 2016

Having been involved in the majority of their goals in qualifying for Euro 2016, Wales banked on Gareth Bale to deliver on the big stage and he did. With a goal in every group game, the Dragons topped the group in spite of a loss to England and saw an easier route to the semi-finals.

The Real Madrid star was at his supreme best, beating defenders with pace and topped the dribbling charts at the tournament. It was his pace and ability to beat defenders that also allowed him to put in crosses that ultimately led to goals.

Most Saves: Hannes Halldorsson

Most Saves Euro 2016
Hannes Halldorsson’s performances saw Iceland reach the knockout stages of Euro 2016

If there was one great story from Euro 2016, it would have to be Iceland’s rise as a football nation. The country with a population of just over 330,000 managed to form a team, qualify for the tournament, go through to the knockout stages and even beat England in the Round of 16!

Hannes Halldorsson was a rock at the back for the island nation and a leaky defence saw him make as many as 24 saves in the tournament. Despite playing only five games, he topped the charts for the most saves.
