Spain’s Xavi Hernandez was selected as the best player at the European Championship on Monday.

The 28-year-old midfielder played in five of Spain’s six games on its way to winning the title. He scored in the 3-0 semifinal win against Russia.

He was chosen by nine coaches in UEFA’s panel of technical experts for the three-week tournament. The selection also took account fans voting online.

He played his 63rd match for Spain on Sunday in its 1-0 victory over Germany in the Euro 2008 final.
