As a result, there has been slight movement in the standings for Euro 2024 Most Assists. Without further ado, let’s take a look.
Euro 2024 Most Assists: Top 5
5. Lukas Haraslin (Slovakia)
The 28-year-old Sparta Prague winger has had two great games for Slovakia so far. Although he did not contribute towards his team’s only goal in the 1-0 win against Belgium, he provided an assist Ivan Schranz’s opener after just 17 minutes. Slovakia face Romania next and it could be a chance for Haraslin to add to his tally.
4. Ilkay Gundogan (Germany)
Gundogan played a key role in Germany’s 2-0 win against Hungary as he scored a goal and also bagged an assist. He passed the ball with 85% accuracy, including two key passes and looked sharp throughout the match. With Switzerland up next, he will look to carry this form forward.
3. Joshua Kimmich (Germany)
The Bayern Munich right back provided an assist for his nation’s first goal at Euro 2024 with a lovely cross towards Florian Wirtz waiting in the box. He had a great game that time but did not manage to keep a clean sheet, which they effortlessly did against Hungary in Round 2.
2. Fabian Ruiz (Spain)
The Spanish playmaker had a great game in his team’s 3-0 win against Croatia as he grabbed one goal and one assist. However, Ruiz drew a blank in Spain’s 1-0 win over Italy, but has done enough to retain his spot in the lineup for the next match for sure.
1. Dennis Man (Romania)
An unlikely name to top the Euro 2024 Most Assists chart, Man had a great outing in his team’s 3-0 win against Ukraine. He provided the assist for skipper Nicolae Stanciu’s thunderous effort from range in the 29th minute and also set up Denis Dragus for Romania’s third goal in the 57th minute. Now with Slovakia up next, he will look to end the group stage on a good note.
