Germany was eliminated in the round of 16 at the 2021 European Championship.

According to statistics, two DFB stars are even among the worst team in the tournament.

London - While things get serious for Europe's elite, Germany is watching: on July 11, the final of the EM 2021 * will take place in London.

The big favorites have long since left the tournament: World champions France, European champions Portugal and the DFB-Elf are already back home.

The highly traded Dutch and Belgians are also out.

In contrast, Italy, Spain, England and Denmark made it to the semi-finals - one of these four teams will then crown themselves at Wembley Stadium.

The analysts at whoscored.com are also handing out a somewhat different kind of crown.

A computer calculated the statistically worst team in the European Championship.

There are also two German national players.

Can you guess the DFB * duo?

EM 2021: Statistics show worst team of the tournament - with two Germans

In fact, Manuel Neuer * is in the goal of the “Worst Rated XI At Euro 2020”!

The German captain only has a rating of 6.0.

In total, more than 200 statistics collected by Opta are included in the evaluation.

Because Neuer was rarely able to distinguish himself and he had to reach behind him in every game, this value came about.

His front people also had unhappy days at the EM *.

The back four are the Welshman Neco Williams (5.88), the two Hungarians Attila Szalai (6.02) and Willi Orban (6.07) and the North Macedonian Ezgjan Alioski (6.15).

Why did they make it into the not very glorious team?

The explanation is obvious: Williams made a big blunder in the round of 16 against Denmark, the two Hungarians conceded a total of six goals in the preliminary round.

And Alioski shot a penalty against Ukraine.

The margin was then possible, but of course the statistics evaluate a penalty awarded extremely negatively.

Croatia's Ante Rebic (6.08), Hungary's Loic Nego (6.04), Poland's Grzegorz Krychowiak (5.89) and the second German: Timo Werner * (5.91) make up the four-man midfield. The former Frankfurt Rebic experienced an unfortunate tournament and was heavily criticized because of his shoe change. Because the Croat had left the field briefly in the round of 16 against Spain to get a fresh sol - it was exactly during this time that the 1-1 draw.

Nego joins the statistically bad Hungary (which realistically actually delivered a strong European Championship), Krychowiak (yellow-red and defeat in the first game, yellow and defeat in the third game) also failed with Poland in the preliminary round.

And Werner?

Sure: The Chelsea star missed a mega chance against England.

Because he did not develop in his two short missions either, he received the bad rating.

Turkey's Burak Yilmaz (6.04) and Swede Marcus Berg (5.97) ultimately make up the double storm in the worst-rated European Championship team. Yilmaz came to the European Championship as a freshly minted French champion, traditionally the Turkish expectations were enormous. The 35-year-old was left empty-handed, dropped out of the group stage without a hitch and even received a yellow card. The one year younger mountain reached the round of 16 with Sweden, but the old star missed a mega chance against Spain, among others. For this he was heavily criticized - and ultimately "punished" with a 5.97.

Incidentally, only players who played more than 100 minutes were rated. And of course there was quick criticism from the fans, especially the bad ratings for the Hungarians were difficult to understand for some fans. But: That's just the way statistics are.
