As this year's UEFA Europa League tournament unfolds, if you want to comment on which league's stars are performing particularly well, it's the Serie A stars who are undoubtedly the stars of this year's tournament. Looking back at the 48 matches in the first two rounds of the group stage, the Serie A stars have won the title of best player of the match nine times, while the Premier League has six people who have been awarded this honor. In comparison, La Liga and the Bundesliga have combined to equal Serie A's tally.
Among the eight Serie A stars who shone at the European Championships, Inter Milan's Romelu Lukaku (Belgium) was the sole winner of two Man of the Match awards, while his teammates Eriksen (Denmark) and Škriniar (Slovakia) were also honored. Atlanta's Goossens (Germany) and Milanchuk (Russia) were also Player of the Match winners. Juventus' Cairo (Portugal), Roma's Spinazzola (Italy) and Sassuolo's Locatelli (Italy) also took the honors.
Among the eight best players of the game, three Inter Milan stars were particularly bright, which also confirms the rise of the strength of the Blue and Black Army from the side. Inter won the Serie A title last season and deserved it.
Eriksen's title of Man of the Match is admirable, and even though he only played 42 minutes and had no statistics, his performance was enough to earn everyone's respect. He interpreted the power of the sport of soccer with his life and showed the charm of soccer.
The Italian team with Serie A stars has been refreshed under the leadership of Roberto Mancini. They are no longer just a simple defensive counterattack, but have fine footwork, tacit cooperation, solid defense and sharp offense, becoming one of the favorites to win this year's European Championships.
The outstanding performance of Serie A stars at the European Championships and the rise of the Italian team, which is based on Serie A players, are signs that the long-dormant Serie A is recovering. At least in this year's European Championships, Serie A has shown signs of recovery!
