Most goals at Euros: All-time top scorers for players, teams at UEFA European Championship | Sporting News United Kingdom
Euro 2024 is all set for the 17th edition of the biggest tournament in European international football.
Alongside the battle for supremacy to be confirmed as the kings of Europe, there will be plenty of individual contests too, with Kylian Mbappe, Cristiano Ronaldo and Harry Kane amongst the favorites to win the Golden Boot award.
France, Portugal, England and others will be hoping their main attackers can fire in Germany, as they plot a path towards the final on July 14.
The all-time top scorer list at the UEFA European Championship features some huge names from both past and present, but a change at the top is unlikely in 2024.
