Fabian Ruiz best player of the European Under 21s: compliments from De Laurentiis

Napoli midfielder Fabian Ruiz, a European Under-21 champion with Spain, was named the tournament's best player. He was the undisputed star of the match in the 2-1 final victory over Germany: he scored the opening goal after just a few minutes with a stunning run and a fine curling left-footed shot from 20 meters, and then his shot, parried by the goalkeeper, led to the second goal. "Congratulations to Fabian Ruiz, best player of the Under-21 European Championship, and to the Spanish national team." With this tweet, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis congratulated his midfielder, who was named best player of the tournament and scored the opening goal, as well as being a key player in Olmo's second-leg win. The Azzurri's number one also congratulated Spain, who, by beating Germany 2-1 in the final in Udine, won their fifth Under-21 European Championship title.
