Africa Cup of Nations 2019: Team of the Tournament

Mohamed El-Shenawy

Rais M’Bolhi won the competition, and was named Caf’s Man of the Match in the final, but El-Shenawy excelled during the early stages of the competition.

Egypt’s campaign may have ended even earlier had the 30-year-old not bailed them out against the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zimbabwe, while they also had the goalkeeper to thank for not falling behind against Uganda.

Youcef Atal

Comfortably the best full-back in the competition, both offensively and defensively, before a broken collarbone sustained against the Ivory Coast ended his competition prematurely.

Offered an overlap effectively, carried the ball well, and also contributed an assist in the 3-0 Round of 16 victory over Guinea.
