A blistering display against Denmark. They had no answer to his skill and pace. Scored a wonderful goal and now looks to one of the stars of the tournament,' said Soccernet after France's opener..

This was borne out when he scored a similar goal against the Czechs.

Also France's top-scorer in the World Cup, Henry moved from Monaco to Arsenal for £11million this season and has been a revelation under Arsene Wenger.

Has moved inside from his wide-right position to earn a place as a central striker.

Scored an astonishing 26 goals for the Highbury side since making his debut in October and looks set for a starting spot this summer.

Another accomplished performance against Spain in the quarter-finals, despite being singled out for special treatment. Good effort in the first half after a mazy run, but suffered from Abelardo and Aranzabal's attention.

His finest moment came from a lightning run down the left flank halfway through the second half.

After blistering through a number of crude Spanish challenges he was eventually cut short by a rugby tackle from Paco just as he reached full steam. Shame.

Swapped for Nicolas Anelka's fresh legs towards the end.
