The UEFA Euro Golden Boot

The Golden Boot is awarded to the player who scores the most goals in the tournament. If there are multiple players with the same number of goals, the winner is decided by the most number of assists. In the Euro 2020, Cristiano Ronaldo (five goals, one assist) edged out Czech striker Patrik Schick (five goals, no assists) to win the Golden Boot award.

If the top scorers also have equal assists, the winner will be the player with the fewest total minutes in the tournament. In Euro 2012, Spain’s Fernando Torres (189 minutes) beat Mario Gomez of Germany (282 minutes) in the Golden Boot race after both scored three goals and one assist each.

Top 5 Goalscorers of UEFA Euro 2024

Cody Gakpo | 3 goals & 1 assist | Netherlands

The Netherlands are in the semi-final of the UEFA Euro 2024 and lots of credit should go to Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo. He has been very influential in the Netherlands' path to the semis. Gakpo has scored 3 goals and 1 assist after appearing in 5 games until now and can extend his tally in the semi-final game against England.

His three goals in five games make him the joint-top goalscorer in the tournament. An offside call denied him a second goal in the 3-0 win over Romania in the last 16. He also set up Donyell Malen for the Netherlands' second goal in that game.

Georges Mikautadze | 3 goals & 1 assist | Georgia

Georgian striker Georges Mikautadze shined at the UEFA Euro 2024, registering three goals and one assist in four games at the tournament. It's no surprise that interest from top leagues has been attached to the forward. The striker was very impressive for Georgia in the Euros and helped them reach the knockout stages of the competition. He also scored in the last group-stage game against Portugal which helped Georgia for the Round of 16.

Ivan Schranz | 3 goals | Slovakia

Ivan Schranz had a great UEFA Euro 2024 campaign with Slovakia as he helped the team qualify for the knockouts of the competition. He even scored the opener against England in the Round of 16 but was unfortunately knocked out of the competition. The SK Slavia Prague forward scored 3 goals after appearing in 4 games for Slovakia.

Jamal Musiala | 3 goals | Germany

The hosts Germany's run in the Euro 2024 came to an end following a 2-1 extra-time defeat against Spain in the Quarter-Final. Jamal Musiala played beautiful football for his nation and scored 3 goals in 5 appearances. The 21-year-old Musiala is certainly living up to the hype, helping his side to win against big opponents on the big stage. With a combination of brilliant finishing ability, creativity, and pace, Musiala has all the attributes to provide a major attacking threat.

Dani Olmo | 3 goals and 2 assists | Spain

Dani Olmo is having a sensational campaign with Spain. He is not only helping his side with his goals and assists but his workrate is unmatchable. Despite not being the starter, Olmo is still on the list and is the front-runner to finish at the top.

When Pedri was subbed off due to an injury in the quarter-final against Germany, Olmo got the opportunity to come in and he dropped a stellar performance, scoring a stunner and providing the assist which eventually decided Spain's fortune. The RB Leipzig forward has already scored 3 goals and provided 2 assists in the Euro 2024 for La Roja. Not only that, all of his goals came in the knockouts of the Euro 2024.
