A number of players were impressive in the second round of Euro 2024 qualifying. Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice in a 6-0 win over Luxembourg. Ronaldo has been in fine form for Portugal under Martinez and he is expected to continue his impressive form for the national team.
He performed very poorly for Portugal in the 2022 World Cup. The 38-year-old has now regained his form and also impressed in the match against Liechtenstein. Ronaldo is the all-time leading scorer in international matches and also holds the record for most caps for the national team.
England international Bukayo Saka was the best player in the 2-0 win over Ukraine. Saka was unstoppable throughout the game and he scored a goal and assist against Ukraine. He assisted Harry Kane in the 37th minute and scored the opening goal 3 minutes later.
Mateo Kovacic scored twice in Croatia's 2-0 win over Türkiye. Kovacic has been in good form for Chelsea since the beginning of this season. He is also very impressive in his performance in international competitions.
Nathan Ake scored twice against Gibraltar and was the best defender on the pitch during the match. Ake has established himself as a first-team starter for club and country.
Here is the list of players with the best performances in the second round of Euro 2024 qualifying
Cristiano Ronaldo and Gyokeres are forwards while Thorsteinsson, Saka, Szoboszlai and Kovacic are midfielders. Nathan Ake, Burca, Gunnarson and Dumfries are the defenders while Livakovic is the goalkeeper.

Julian Nagelsmann is one of Tottenham's top management targets as they search for a replacement for Antonio Conte, but it doesn't look like he's been oversold at Spurs as a club.
Dean Jones says the German really wants to lead Spurs but Nagelsmann is well aware that it's not the best move of his career.
Indeed, according to talkSPORT, Nagelsmann believes he will take a step back in his career if he finds himself in charge of Spurs.

There's no nice way to say this, but he's right.
With all due respect to Tottenham, the transition from managing Bayern Munich to managing Spurs is a step backwards, there are no two paths. Bayern Munich is one of the biggest clubs in the world. They have won the league title every year for the past 10 years and have also lifted two Champions League trophies in that time.
Of course, no Tottenham fan needs to be reminded that Spurs haven't won any trophies in that time.
To put it bluntly, Nagelsmann would take a step back if he joined Spurs, but honestly, he's unlikely to take a step forward from this point on.
He's just been sacked - which is sure to send his shares plummeting, and to be fair, only a handful of clubs in world football are seen as a believable step up from Bayern in every case - Real Madrid and Barcelona, ???and even then you can make arguments against those points. Just because Nagelsmann thinks Spurs will quit doesn't necessarily mean the 'remarkable' manager won't take the job.
He will be well aware of his current situation after being sacked by Bayern and he probably knows he will have to take a step back in his next job, and that also means he will end up at Spurs.
