Best 11 of EURO 2012's quarterfinal

The quarter finals of EURO 2012 have ended, and we will see Portugal takes on Spain, the re-match of group C, while Italy faces Germany. Here is the list of 11 best throughout the quarterfinals by 36Sports.com, let's take a look. 

Gigi Buffon is definitely the best goalkeeper of EURO 2012's quarter finals. Italy's best goalkeeper denied Glen Johnson's 5 meter shot, and saved the last penalty by Ashley Cole

Glen Johnson (white) had an excellent performance last night. Liverpool defender was controlling the left wing of Italy really well, and nearly scored for England. 

Pepe, once again, proved that he is the good replacement for Ricardo Carvalho. He was leading the Portugal's defense in the match against Czech Republic, shutting down their offense completely. 

Mats Hummels is compared to Matthias Sammer, not only because his recent success with Dortmund. In the match against Greece, he played particularly well, restraining Greece's counter-attack.

Jordi Alba was the highlight in Spain's defense. France's left, with Ribery, Benzema and Debuchy, was not able to show anything because of him. 

Sami Khedira (white) not only helped Germany dominating midfield but also made a personal impression by a spectacular volley in the match against Greece

Andrea Pirlo (blue) was the soul of Italy. His creativity and artistic playing style helped Italy control the match against England. His Penenka shot in the penalty shoot out showed his iron-clad nerve and experience. 

Xabi Alonso celebrated his 100 appearances for Spain with a blast. Together with Xavi and Busquet, he helped Spain take control of mid-field in the match against France. More importantly, he himself made the double to fire Spain into semi. 

Marco Reus (white) was in the starting lineup in the quarterfinal and immediately brought more power and flexibility to Germany. 

Miroslav Klose made people talk about him when he played exceptionally well in quarterfinal. Rather than a goal for Germany, his positioning and movement created a lot of space for Oezil, dictator of Germany's game, to shine.

Cristiano Ronaldo was the focus of Czech's defenders, but that did not prevent the Real Madrid's super star to shine. Ronaldo scored the deciding goal to bring Portugal into semi-final.
