Lloris captained France to victory, despite an error in the final that allowed Mario Mandzukic to score. Indeed, he conceded twice in that game, with France ultimately triumphing 4-2.
Schmeichel, meanwhile, played a key role as Denmark reached the Round of 16 in Russia, where they lost to finalists Croatia on penalties.
Belgium’s Courtois helped his side to third-place in the tournament, twice keeping clean sheets against England, and also inspiring the Red Devils to a 2-1 win over Brazil in the quarter-finals.
