Contrary to the consensus of the majority of experts about the world’s top scorer and the name of the Ballon d’Or winner, it seems that predicting the name of the Euro 2024 champion seemed difficult for the trio, who expected 3 teams to win the continental title: England, France, and Portugal, excluding Italy, the holder of the last edition’s title in 2020.
Deal of the year
Heavy deals may be concluded this year, according to statisticians, perhaps the most notable of which is the transfer of Frenchman Kylian Mbappe from Saint-Germain to Real Madrid, Nigerian Victor Osimhen from Napoli in Italy to Chelsea in England, and German talent Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen to Bayern.
