Arsenal stars needed no time to settle on the international stage as they impressed in the opening fixtures of\u00a0Euro 2024.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Kai Havertz and Germany recorded a dominant 5-1 win over Scotland to kick off the competition, while Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice were integral to England\u2019s tight 1-0 victory against Serbia.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s take a look at the best performances from\u00a0Arsenal\u00a0players on Matchday 1.<\/p>\n
\n
1.\u00a0Kai Havertz<\/h2>\n<\/figure>\n

Kai Havertz\u00a0ran the show at the Allianz Arena on Friday, launching what has the potential to be an incredibly exciting tournament for Germany.<\/p>\n
This man is inevitable. His link up-play with Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz proved crucial as\u00a0Germany danced through Scotland\u2019s defence, with five separate goalscorers finding the back of the net.<\/p>\n
The Gunners star grabbed a goal and an assist and led the line perfectly.<\/p>\n
\n
2.\u00a0Bukayo Saka<\/h2>\n<\/figure>\n

Bukayo Saka got himself into every little bit of space and looked like a real handful as\u00a0England got off to a winning start against Serbia.<\/p>\n
His role on the right flank allowed him to run riot and make intelligent passes when his team needed them most.<\/p>\n
Saka\u00a0made a perfectly timed assist to set up Jude Bellingham\u2019s game-settling goal and Arsenal\u2019s starboy will be crucial for the rest of\u00a0England\u2019s fixtures.<\/p>\n
\n
3.\u00a0William Saliba<\/h2>\n<\/figure>\n

William Saliba made his first start at an international tournament for France in\u00a0their 1-0 win over Austria\u00a0on Monday night and put in a great performance in defence.<\/p>\n
Didier Deschamps has often overlooked Saliba in favour of more established defenders but decided to pair the centre-back with Bayern Munich\u2019s Dayot Upamecano.<\/p>\n
It was a fantastic decision from the French boss as the Gunners star shut down Austria\u2019s threats and helped his side to record a clean sheet.<\/p>\n
\n
4.\u00a0Declan Rice<\/h2>\n<\/figure>\n

While everyone was quick to praise the work of Bellingham and Saka for England, it was\u00a0Declan Rice\u00a0who orchestrated the game and ultimately carried his side to victory.<\/p>\n
Rice\u2019s ball control is immense and this skill is so necessary for England. His effort allows his side\u2019s attackers more time and opportunities to surge forward and more often than not it ends in celebration.<\/p>\n
England\u2019s win over Serbia was a midfield battle and it\u2019s no surprise Rice was at the heart of it.<\/p>\n
\n
5.\u00a0Jorginho<\/h2>\n<\/figure>\n

Jorginho was an important part of\u00a0Italy\u2019s 2-1 comeback win over Albania\u00a0and played a key role in midfield.<\/p>\n
He dropped alongside his teammates in defence and made sure to warn his side when Albania\u2019s opening goal was coming.<\/p>\n
Jorginho worked hard to keep his side in the game after they fell behind in the opening seconds and completed 120 passes \u2013 the most of any midfielder in a European Championship game since Toni Kroos in 2016.<\/p>\n
Arsenal stars needed no time to settle on the international stage as they impressed in the opening fixtures of\u00a0Euro 2024.
