Moments of magic aren't easily forgotten, and the stars of Europe didn't disappoint

They caused chaos. They controlled everything. They created impossible. The stars of adidas Football lit up the game this summer.

When the world’s best players hit the pitch, you know there’s going to be fireworks. UEFA Euro 2016 showed some next-level skills and moments you won’t forget as players proved that First Never Follows.

Gareth Bale rose to the occasion, causing chaos as he inspired Wales to the semi-finals, their best-ever tournament performance. Their 3-1 win against Belgium will live long in the memory.

One of the stars of the future became a star of today: Renato Sanches. The Portuguese youngster broke into the team and controlled everything on his way to becoming a European champion. The new FC Bayern star will be taking it up a level next season as he looks to add some club silverware to his trophy collection.

It wasn’t just the outfield players showing their boss-level skills, though. Manuel Neuer proved his shot-stopping credentials in the quarter-final shoot out with Italy while Lukasz Fabianski was part of one of the best defences in the tournament.

Check out some of the best moments from some of the world’s greatest players and see if you can take your game up a level with the latest pack from adidas Football: the Speed of Light.
