In this article, we will learn about the top scorers at each Euro tournament since its inaugural edition in 1960.
Even though Ronaldo is now leading the all-time scoring table, how many different events has he won the most goals in?
Three times in five different tournaments, he has been outscored by someone despite his 14 goals. The legendary player from Portugal, nevertheless, can lay claim to being the only one to have finished first in many tournaments.
Michel Platini’s nine goals in a single Euro tournament in 1984 still stand as the record for the most goals scored by a single player. Despite not participating in another Euro, he is France’s all-time leading goalscorer in the competition’s history.
Even though his Bleus team lost to Portugal in the championship game on home soil, Antoine Griezmann’s six goals in 2016 rank him second only to Platini in terms of most goals in a single Euros tournament.
