You can keep your Andres Iniestas, Thomas Mullers and Robert Lewandowskis.
All you need is two little Irishmen from Norwich City Football Club, apparently.
Without the Republic of Ireland’s Canaries pair Robbie Brady and Wes Hoolahan, who knows where they’d be?
But, luckily, they are very much with the diminutive duo and, thanks to that fact, they’ve scored three goals (at the time of writing) at the European Championships in France.
Hoolahan’s opener against Sweden, Brady’s game-winner against Italy and his penalty against France means that Norwich players have scored more goals at this tournament than players from some of the biggest clubs in Europe.
An incredible statistic emerged after Brady’s spot-kick on Sunday that Norwich have supplied three games at Euro 2016 while La Liga champions Barcelona only have two.
As well as that, players from Champions League finalists Atletico Madrid have just the one and Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich have contributed exactly zero.
