One day after Portugal won Euro 2016, UEFA today revealed the official Team of the Tournament. Featuring four Portugal players, three from Germany and two each of France and Wales, the Euro 2016 Team of the Tournament features a similarly diverse selection of boots.
Euro 2016 Team of the Tournament
Four Nike, three Adidas and two Puma players made the Euro 2016 team, with New Balance and Umbro also represented with one player each. Boot models are similarly divided, with the Nike Mercurial being the only one to be worn by more than one player.
France's Antoine Griezmann, wearing Puma evoSPEED cleats, was chosen as overall player of the tournament.
UEFA coaching ambassador Sir Alex Ferguson said: "After quite a bit of deliberation, the observers chose a team that features the best performing players from the best performing teams at UEFA EURO 2016. We have chosen dominant central defenders; full-backs who can defend and attack; deep-lying midfielders who can control the game and dynamic, flexible and creative attackers, all of whom have the ability to create and score goals. We believe that the selected XI represents the best of the competition."

Gabriel Jesus To Leave Adidas?
In his latest training sessions and first official game in Barcelona colors, Gabriel Jesus was spotted wearing a pair of black-painted F50 boots - a sign that he might be leaving Adidas.
His 'black' cleats are actually the laceless F50 2026 'Born for Goals', released earlier this year. The fact that they are painted shows that Jesus is currently at the last days of his contract with the brand, and could be looking for new partner.
Do you want to see Gabriel Jesus continue with Adidas, or to join a new brand? Let us know in the comments.
