As the Euro 2016 heads to the quarter-finals, we take a look at the 10 most dangerous players remaining at the tournament. These players have the capacity to turn the results to their team’s favor with just a few touches on the ball.
Paul Pogba
Although Pogba is yet to score in this year’s edition of the European Championship, he is one instrumental attacking midfielder who is capable of creating chances out of nothing. He has so far played four matches for Les Bleus in the competition, and is the mastermind of France’s midfield creativity.
Cristiano Ronaldo
The Real Madrid star had started the competition on a low note but finally rediscovered his goal-scoring boots in their final Group F match against Hungary when he scored a double to steer Seleccao to a 3-3 draw and book a place in the last 16. Despite failing to find the back of the net for Portugal in their knockout fixture, they proceeded to the quarter-finals thanks to Ricardo Quaresma’s late finish. On a good day, Ronaldo plays speedy, tactical and skillful football, and that is what he is expected to show against Poland in the quarter-finals of the competition on June 30 at Stade Velodrome..jpg)
Robert Lewandowski
The Bayern Munich star has not yet scored a goal in France despite scoring 42 goals in 55 games in all competitions this season. Poland coach Adam Nawalka has defended the 27-year-old by claiming that his goals are coming and Portugal could be the first victim of Lewa’s wrath. .jpg)
Eden Hazard
Belgium and Chelsea fans are still on cloud nine following Eden Hazard’s recent performance against Hungary in their last 16 fixture. The 25-year-old scored a stunner for the Red Devils after weaving past three Hungarian defenders. He also has three assists to his name in this competition. Since getting the captain’s armband, hazard has become hazardous in his tournament..jpg)
Gianluigi Buffon
The Italy and Juventus shot stopper was the reason the Azzurri kicked defending champions Spain out of the competition on Monday. He made a series of outstanding saves to keep the likes of three-goal hero Alvaro Morata at bay and is expected to continue with his good performance behind the sticks when his side faces Die Mannshaft despite being 38 years old.
Jerome Boateng
The Bayern Munich defender has been the rock at Germany’s defence in this tournament and quite unexpectedly, he has a goal to his name against Slovakia in their first knockout match of the competition. The 27-year-old made an incredible goal line save against Ukraine in their group stage fixture, a perfect evidence of how influential he is for Joachim Low’s side..jpg)
Gareth Bale
The Real Madrid star is one of the top goal scorers at the Euro 2016 with three goals to his name. He scored a brilliant free-kick goal against England despite losing the match 2-1. He has three goals to his name and one assist so far and is Wales’ main man at the tournament..jpg)
Aaron Ramsey
Ramsey is Wales’ chief assist provider and chance creator at the European Championship in France. The Arsenal star has been combining well with Gareth Bale up front and the partnership is expected to grow even stronger in the coming fixture against Belgium. With one goal and two assists to his name, Ramsey is worth watching out for in France..jpg)
Leonardo Bonucci
The 29-defender has been impressive at the back protecting Gianluigi Buffon. He managed to keep the likes of Andres Iniesta and Alvaro Morata at bay in their last 16 match against Spain. Prior to that, he had stopped the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Eden Hazard, Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku.

Antoine Griezmann
The Atletico Madrid man has played was the savior for his country twice in the competition. He scored a powerful header against Albania at the group stage when the game was almost heading to a draw, then rescued his country from the jaws of defeat to the Republic of Ireland on Sunday by scoring a brace. With three goals to his name, you can expect him to put up some brilliant performance in the hunt for the tournament’s golden boot award.
