Right Winger: Raheem Sterling (England)

Not many people were in favour of Southgate's decision to play Raheem Sterling in the starting eleven at Euro 2020 over the likes of Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Jack Grealish.

But not only has Sterling repaid his coach's faith, the 26-year-old has silenced all critics with his performances at Euro 2020. It has been a tough season for Sterling at club level. The winger did manage ten goals and seven assists in the league, but he was far from his best. A rather unflattering performance in the Champions League final did not help his cause either.

Now, though, things are different, and Sterling is looking like a man on a mission at Euro 2020. The ex-Liverpool man has scored three goals and has an assist to his name. He won the penalty against Denmark, which put England through to the Euro 2020 final.

Mancini has singled out Sterling and said that Italy would have to be extra cautious when the Englishman is on the ball.


Striker: Harry Kane (England)

While he did start slow, Harry Kane has found his shooting boots at Euro 2020. The Tottenham Hotspur striker went without a goal in the group stage but has now scored in both knockout-round games.

Southgate and other English fans might be relieved to see Kane performing when it mattered most. After a productive Premier League season that saw Kane leading the charts for both goals and assists, the 27-year-old now has a chance to win the first trophy of his career.

With four goals in the Euro 2020 knockout rounds, Kane is back in the mix for the tournament's Golden Boot award. He needs one goal to join Cristiano Ronaldo and Patrik Schick, who have scored five goals apiece, while a brace will see him win the Golden Boot outright.


Left Winger: Lorenzo Insigne (Italy)

The final spot in the hypothetical XI goes to Italy's Lorenzo Insigne. The 30-year-old is Italy's talisman in many ways and is involved in most of their attacks. The Napoli captain is known for his creativity, speed and technical ability and will look to guide his team to Euro 2020 glory.

The battle between Insigne and Walker should be an interesting one, given how attack-minded Kyle Walker is. Insigne has all the skills in his armory to hurt England and will be a man to look out for in the Euro 2020 final.
