FORMER Barcelona team-mates Cesc Fabregas and Gerard Pique couldn’t agree on their player of the Euros.
Both clearly had their eyes fixed on a tense final between England and Italy at Wembley.
But while Fabregas tweeted that Walker was ‘arguably best player of the tournament’, Pique was not in agreement.
The Spanish centre-half responded with his choice of ‘Chiesa’ – for Italian attacker Chiesa.
Both players were involved from the off for the final.
Walker started the game in a back three alongside Harry Maguire and John Stones.
While Chiesa was afforded somewhat of a free role, and played a key part in Italy’s equaliser.
England took the lead after just two minutes when Luke Shaw volleyed home Kieran Trippier’s pinpoint cross – with Walker making a valuable decoy run outside of him
But the Italians deservedly tied the game at 1-1 when Leonardo Bonucci poked home.
And Walker needed to be alert when he chested a calm backpass to keeper Jordan Pickford as the match went to extra time.
