Patrick Shick is a very questionable Omission here. He scored 5 goals and had an outstanding tournament :confused:

@Goodness Personally I’ll have him over Lukaku as well, he had a tremendous tournament and was the main man for Czech throughout the tournament… I see no reason Lukaku should be ahead of him especially when you realized they both got eliminated at the quarter final stage…

Patrik Schick finished joint-top scorer at the European Championships with five goals.

He scored 83% of the Czech Republic’s goals, single-handedly getting them to the quarter-final.

And let’s not forget about THAT goal against Scotland.

He’s definitely worthy of a place in the team of the tournament!
