Portugal vs France UEFA Euro 2024 Quarter-Final Live Updates | France are in semi-finals via 3-5 win in penalties

Hello and Welcome to SportzPoint for another UEFA Euro 2024 Live. The Quarter-Final match between Portugal and France will kick off at 12.30 am IST. Stay tuned for all the live updates. We will see World Cup Champion Kylian Mbappe representing his nation France against his idol, the Eternally Charismatic Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal in Hamburg.

France and Portugal both have disappointed their fans with lackluster football. France have failed to score a single goal from open play until now in this edition of the Euros. Somehow, they are still in the Quarter-Finals. France beat Belgium by 1-0 in the Round of 16 and that goal too came off an Belgium player.

On the other side, Portugal haven't played well except the game against Turkey. They struggled and ultimately lost their last group-stage match against Georgia but somehow managed to win the penalty shoot-out against a brave Slovenia side in the Round of 16 clash.

France are in the semis!

It was by no means a perfect game for both teams. France is yet to score from an open play in the tournament and they are yet in the final four. Even without Kylian Mbappe taking the penalty, they won the penalty by 5-3. Top-notch penalties from both sides except for Joao Felic who hit the post.

Most Golden Boots win in football history

Lionel Messi has won the European Golden Boot a record six times. Let's take a look at the most Golden Boots win in football history.

May 27, 2025, 11:47 AMโ€ข3 min read

Most Golden Boots win in football history

The European Golden Boot or European Golden Shoe is awarded annually to the leading goal scorer in league matches in the top divisions of European football. First awarded in 1968, this prestigious honour is judged on a points-based system.

Also Read: Players with the most champions league titles

Golden Boot: Rules

The winner is not simply the player with the most goals in the season. There is a weighting system where the goals scored in the top-ranked leagues are worth more. Players from the five highest ranked leagues according to UEFA (based on results of each league's clubs in European competition over the previous five seasons) get 2 points per scored goal, leagues ranked 6-22 get 1.5 points per goal and the remaining leagues get 1 point per goal.

The top five ranked leagues in 2022 were Germany, Spain, England, Italy, and France. The winners usually come from the top-ranked leagues.

Historical Overview

Between 1968 and 1991, the award was given by L'ร‰quipe to the highest goalscorer in any European league. Between 1991 and 1996 there were no official awards given to the top goal scorers, but the leading goalscorer for those years have since been recognized.

Since the 1996โ€“97 season, the award, given by European Sports Media, has used a weighted points system.

Most Golden Boots win

Lionel Messi has won the European Golden Boot a record six times (2009-10, 2011-12, 2012-13, 2016-17, 2017-18, 2018-19). The next closest is Cristiano Ronaldo with four (2007-08, 2010-11, 2013-14, 2014-15).

Let's take a look at the most Golden Boots win in football history.

Who is leading the 2024-25 European Golden Boot race?

Kylian Mbappe is leading the race for the 2024-25 European Golden Boot. However, players like Viktor Gyรถkeres, Mohamed Salah and a few others are also in race.

Who is leading the 2024-25 European Golden Boot race? | sportzpoint.com

The European leagues are up and running and we have already witnessed some great encounters between the top European teams. The hunt to win the European Golden Boot is also taking shape for the 2024-25 season.

Some big names from the Top five European leagues are already in full swing and they are scoring loads of goals to clinch the coveted annual award for the highest goalscorer in Europe. However, some young and talented players have enlisted themselves in the charts as well; even from outside of the top five European leagues.

According to the coefficient rankings updated by UEFA on 7 November 2024, the top five European Leagues are the English Premier League, Serie A (Italy), LaLiga (Spain), Bundesliga (Germany), and French Ligue 1 respectively. 

Sportzpoint brings you all the details about the leading goalscorers in the top five European leagues, details of the UEFA League ranking, and the leading goalscorers competing for the 2024-25 European Golden Boot.

The European Golden Boot Race

The Golden Boot is awarded by European Sports Media (ESM) which is a unified association of Football Magazine publications such as Marca, Kicker, La Gazzetta dello Sport, Frankfurter AZ, etc. They took over since 1996-97 season and started a new ranking system based on the position of the league for the respective players. 

The UEFA coefficient ranking is considered a measure for weighting points, with the principle being to acknowledge players who score in leagues of higher quality according to rankings, which makes it tougher to find the back of the net.

The number of goals scored in the top five leagues of Europe are counted with a multiplier of two, while those from leagues ranked six to 21 receive a 1.5 multiplier, and goals from all other leagues are counted as one.

This is how the points system works. 

Before looking at the players' list, here is the official UEFA ranking of league coefficients:
