The UEFA award for the most valuable player of the match was taken home by Adam Gnezda Čerin, but according to the statistical portal SofaScore, which rates players based on various parameters, the best player in Cologne this time was someone else. The highest rating among all players in the last group C match was awarded to Phil Foden and Declan Rice from the England national team, while the best Slovenian player was Jaka Bijol.
The backbone of the Slovenian team played another outstanding game, making 9 clearances and pocketing Harry Kane as well. Enough for a 7.3 rating, which was the highest in the Slovenian camp this time. Six players reached a rating of at least 7, alongside Jaka Bijol were Benjamin Šeško (7.2), Timi Max Elšnik and Vanja Drkušić (both 7.1), Adam Gnezda Čerin, Jan Oblak, and Petar Stojanović (all 7).
The lowest ratings were received by Erik Janža and substitute Josip Iličić (both 6.4), but the latter still made history as the oldest Slovenian to play in major tournaments. Žan Celar and Jon Gorenc Stanković received a rating of 6.5, while Andraž Šporar, Žan Karničnik, and Jan Mlakar were rated 6.8. Ratings, of course, are either subjective or based on statistics that cannot illuminate everything happening on the field. And this time, it was exactly like that. This time, the Slovenians surpassed themselves. They neutralized a team worth more than a billion euros and achieved a historic success. Enough for a rating of 10! To everyone! Allow us to be emotional in such a moment.
