UEFA EURO 2024 kicked off on Friday 14 June and ends with the final in Berlin on Sunday 14 July. Have you seen any of the matches yet?

We’ve been keeping a close look into the best and most promising teams. Let’s just say — there’s money on the line!

Euro 2024 is set to be a showcase of football’s brightest young talents. As teams gear up for this massive tourney, everyone’s asking: 

“Who’s next? Who’s that one young player about to set the stage on fire?” 

Well, we’ve got some names for you. And if you’re into betting, there’s some sweet action here too.

The Next Big Things in Football

So, who are these young guns predicted to dazzle us at Euro 2024?

1. Florian Wirtz (Germany)

Age doesn’t mean a thing to this kid. Wirtz is all about breaking records and expectations. Playing for Germany, he’s got skill, vision, and the home crowd behind him. Imagine betting on him as the ‘Young Player of the Tournament.’ The odds? They’re looking good. SO FAR.

2. Eduardo Camavinga (France)

Here’s someone who defines ‘cool under pressure.’ Young but already a fixture in the French midfield, Camavinga’s got the moves. Betting on him scoring his first major tournament goal? Why not? The payoff could be sweet.

3. Gavi (Spain)

Talk about talent! This Spanish midfielder plays like he’s been doing this for decades. Control, poise, and a knack for being in the right spot — Gavi’s got it all. Keep an eye on the odds for him making a mark as a first-time goal scorer.

4. Jamal Musiala (Germany)

Another gem from Germany, Musiala’s technique is top-notch. He can dribble, pass, and score. Can he be the one lifting the ‘Young Player of the Tournament’ trophy? Betting on him wouldn’t be a bad idea.

Why Bet on Young Players?

Here’s the thing about betting on young stars: it’s exciting. 

Sure, it’s a bit of a gamble. But imagine the bragging rights if you call it right. Plus, the payouts are often larger because these aren’t the usual suspects.

Boosting the excitement

While we know that watching sports events is exciting by itself — we are also all in for tweaking things to get more exciting. Who never tried to bet with their friends on the winner?

But this can be so much more than a friendly banter. Not only proving you right, but also taking some benefits of that guess with you. 

How to get started though?

1. Look for Value: Avoid going all in on the hyped players. Sometimes, the real gold is in those overlooked.
2. Player Path: Check their journey to the tournament. Steady play time and recent performances are good signs.
3. Odds and Ends: Betting sites offer varying odds. Shop around for the best deals, especially for ‘Young Player of the Tournament’ and ‘First-Time Goal Scorers.’
4. Check for promos and extras within a betting system.

It’s safe to say that the 1st Leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final clashes lived up to expectations. While Bayern held 15-time winners Real Madrid to a 2-2 draw at home, Dortmund sprung a surprise and came away as 1-0 winners over PSG at home. In this write-up, we’ll look at both these games in detail with player ratings and 2nd leg predictions.

Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid

In a clash marking their record eighth encounter at this stage, Bayern surged early, with Leroy Sané and Harry Kane posing threats. 

Thomas Tuchel’s side started brightly in this Champions League semi-final first leg. However, they were left stunned when their opponents scored with their first shot of the game after 24 minutes. Kim’s lapse in concentration allowed Vinicius Jr to break free and slot the ball past a motionless Manuel Neuer.

Kroos nearly doubled the lead in the 51st minute, only to be denied by Neuer’s acrobatics. However, Bayern responded swiftly, with Sané’s solo effort restoring parity, before Kane’s penalty, awarded after Jamal Musiala was fouled, put the hosts in front, giving Bayern a 2-1 advantage with his 43rd goal of the season. Unfortunately for the hosts, they couldn’t hold on to the lead, as Kim’s clumsy challenge on Vinicius led to a late penalty, which the Brazilian converted to level the score with seven minutes remaining.

Two glaring mistakes by Kim Min-jae cost Bayern Munich a well-deserved win against Real Madrid on Tuesday. The defender’s errors led to both goals conceded by the Bavarians in the 2-2 draw at the Allianz Arena.

Standout Players

Bayern Munich

• Erick Dier – 7/10
  Demonstrated his usual command in organizing Bayern’s defense, effectively limiting Real’s offensive opportunities. Contributed to the team’s solid build-up play with minimal errors. However, missed a significant chance to extend the lead with a header straight into Lunin’s hands.
• Konrad Laimer – 9/10
  A relentless force in midfield, Laimer showcased exceptional stamina and dominance in battles for possession, frequently emerging victorious. His relentless work rate was instrumental in Bayern’s control of the midfield.
• Harry Kane – 8/10
  Made significant contributions to Bayern’s build-up play with his diligent efforts and came through when needed, converting a crucial penalty. Displayed versatility and reliability throughout the match.
• Jamal Musiala – 8/10
  Emerged as one of Bayern’s primary threats, Musiala earned the penalty that led to the team’s second goal. Showed promise with his dribbling skills but could have been more clinical in front of goal.

Real Madrid

• Vinicius Junior – 8/10
  Demonstrated composure with both his goals, showcasing resilience in navigating through tight defensive battles to create scoring opportunities. Showed patience and reaped the rewards of his persistence.
• Toni Kroos – 7/10
  Executed a sublime pass to unlock Bayern’s defense for the opening goal. Faced difficulties coping with the increased tempo of the second half but still exhibited moments of quality on the ball.
• Aurelien Tchouameni – 7/10
  Adapted well to the game’s dynamics following Bayern’s early dominance, maintaining vigilance against Kane’s deep playmaking role.

Borussia Dortmund vs PSG

In a tightly contested first-leg encounter, Paris Saint-Germain suffered a 1-0 defeat to Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League semi-final, with Kylian Mbappe subdued while facing an inspired performance from the opposition’s wide forward.

Jadon Sancho, showcasing his finest form since returning to Dortmund on loan in January, dazzled on the wing, overshadowing Mbappe and leaving the Parisians to lament missed opportunities. PSG now faces the daunting task of overturning the aggregate deficit if they aim to maintain their aspirations of clinching a maiden European Cup before their leading goal scorer departs this summer.

The breakthrough came for Dortmund after 35 minutes when Niklas Fullkrug breached the Parisian defense, collecting a lofted pass and slotting the ball past Gianluigi Donnarumma.

PSG rallied after the interval, launching a barrage of attacks on Gregor Kobel’s goal early in the second half. Mbappe and Achraf Hakimi both struck the inside of the post, while Fabian Ruiz missed a glaring opportunity by nodding wide. Ousmane Dembele also squandered chances from close range.

Dortmund had their share of opportunities, with Julian Brandt and Fullkrug failing to capitalize on scoring chances. Throughout the match, Sancho’s stellar performance served as Dortmund’s catalyst. However, neither side managed to add to the scoreline, setting the stage for an enticing second leg with PSG facing an uphill battle.

Standout Players

Borussia Dortmund

• Jadon Sancho: 9/10
  Displayed a level of confidence and flair unseen by Manchester United fans, orchestrating numerous chances with effortless precision.
• Niclas Fullkrug: 9/10 
  Clinical in converting his first-half opportunity but marred by a glaring miss later on. Nonetheless, remained a constant menace to PSG’s defense throughout the match.
• Nico Schlotterbeck: 8/10 
  Instrumental in Dortmund’s lead with an exceptional long pass, showcasing defensive solidity alongside his offensive contributions.
• Ian Maatsen: 8/10 
  Asserted himself effectively in the attacking third, disrupting Hakimi’s forward surges and containing his threat for the majority of the game.

PSG

• Warren Zaire-Emery – 7/10
  Showed great energy in midfield, covering a lot of ground while facilitating play for the team.
• Kylian Mbappe – 6/10
  Came close to scoring with a shot that struck the post and provided a promising opportunity for Kolo Muani. However, his overall impact on the game was subdued.
• Vitinha – 6/10
  Directed play effectively, showcasing both short and long passing abilities. However, struggled with defensive tracking at times.
