The former Germany international makes no secret of his admiration for the star midfielder.

Former Germany international Lothar Matthaus, one of the country's greatest football figures, has revealed who he considers to be the best player at Euro 2024 so far. And the choice… surprises.

“So far, the best player in the tournament is Marcel Sabitzer. I saw him play live in Berlin during Austria's 3-2 win over the Netherlands. His speed, his agility, his sophistication on the ball, the way he combines with his team-mates, he is… Standing out in this is the Austrian team, which has an impressive style of play, was ahead of France and the Netherlands, and was better in the defeat to France “They were not inferior. The team works hard and achieves what the French and Dutch cannot: speed with and without the ball. This is Ralf Rangnick's style,” the German, now 63, wrote in his opinion column.

It is worth noting that Sabitzer, who represents Borussia Dortmund, played the full 90 minutes in all group stage matches and contributed a goal against the Netherlands and an assist against Poland. With France, he wore the captain's armband, which in the other two matches belonged to striker Arnautović.
