His clinical finishing was on full display, turning the game on its head and guiding West Germany to a 4-0 victory.

 Müller's contributions were instrumental in propelling his team to the final, where they ultimately defeated the Netherlands to clinch the European Championship title.

1992 – Henrik Larsen (Denmark), Karl-Heinz Riedle (Germany), Dennis Bergkamp (Netherlands) – 3 goals 

The top goal scorers in Euro '92 jointly are Henrik Larsen, Karl-Heinz Riedle, and Dennis Bergkamp. They played a big role in their teams.

Henrik Larsen was a very important player for Denmark when they shocked Europe by winning the 1992 European Football Championship. During the championship, he scored important goals, one of which was witnessed in their first group match against France. His single goal was enough to give them a 2–1 triumph over the French in Group 1 games ensuring their surprising journey past this stage. This made him one of their key players because Larsen managed to score despite being put under pressure.

Karl-Heinz Riedle had a central role in Germany’s Euro 1992 campaign. His key company comprised of putting away some rather weighty goals indicating his prowess when in sight of a goal. In the final match against Czechoslovakia, Riedle’s goal-poaching gifts were instrumental as they helped his country cross the line. This steady behavior together with his art of scoring at the right moments made him the leading goal-getter for Germany in all ages. 

Dennis Bergkamp, who played for the Netherlands, had a more laid-back performance in Euro 1992. Even without scoring goals directly, Bergkamp illustrated his genius during the tournament. He was heavily involved in the front three build-up for the country, as he would always start attacks or create scoring chances for his teammates. Bergkamp’s level of technical skills and vision made him vital for the Netherlands, even though they failed to make it out of the group stage.

1996 - Alan Shearer (England) – 5 goals

Alan Shearer came out as the Euro 1996 Top scorer after a 21-month international goal drought. He scored 5 goals against Switzerland, Scotland, the Netherlands (twice) and Germany. He even contributed to penalty goals against Spain and Germany.

But England lost to Germany in the semi-finals ending Shearer’s goalscoring campaign. He went on to play in the 1998 Fifa World Cup and UEFA Euro 2000. Shearer went into the Euro 86 campaign as the 1994-95 English Premier League winner with Blackburn Rovers.

2000 - Patrick Kluivert (Netherlands), Savo Milošević (Yugoslavia) – 5 goals

Patrick Kluivert’s performance in Euro 2000 made the Netherlands' favourites to win the trophy. Kluivert opened his scoring against Denmark(3-0) and France(3-2) in the group stages. His hattrick against Yugoslavia propelled Netherlands to the semifinals of Euro’ 2000. Italy defeated the Netherlands in the semi-finals ending their dream campaign. Kluivert achieved success with Ajax winning the Uefa Champions League in 1995 and went on to become Barcelona’s leading scorer winning La Liga in 1997-98 and 1998-99.

Savo Milosevic’s performance at UEFA Euro 2000 made him the joint top-scorer in the UEFA Euro 2000. Milosevic scored goals in the crucial moments of group-stage matches. His contributions helped a raging comeback against Slovenia, securing qualification to the quarter-final by scoring against Norway. But Milosevic’s brilliance was not enough to counter Yugoslavia’s collective team shortcomings. Milosevic found the net even in Yugoslavia’s crushing quarter-final defeat to the Netherlands. Kluivert went on to earn 102 caps for Serbia and went on to score 220 goals in 600 appearances.

2004 - Milan Baroš (Czech Republic) – 5 goals

Milan Baros’s outstanding performance for the Czech Republic earned him the accolade of the tournament’s top scorer with five goals in only four games. Baros's ability to bring goals for his team at critical moments played a pivotal role in the Czech Republic’s journey to the semi-finals. An opening goal against Latvia, A goal, and an assist to overcome a two-goal deficit against Netherlands to win 3-2.

He led his team to the semifinals by scoring two goals against Denmark (3-0). The Czech Republic lost to Greece(0-1) in the semifinals ending their impressive unbeaten run. He played 93 matches scoring on 41 of them. A record making him the second-highest scorer for the Czech Republic behind only Jan Koller.

2008 - David Villa (Spain) – 4 goals

Scoring four goals in four performances established David Villa as the poster boy of Spain's triumphant run at UEFA EURO 2008. He earned the tournament’s Golden Boot despite staying out in the semifinals and finals due to an injury. Villa scored an incredible hat-trick in the opening game against Russia to win 4-1.

A last-minute winner against Sweden showcased his clutch scoring ability and sharp finishing propelling Spain into the Semi-finals. Villa went on to earn the silver boot in the 2010 World Cup. He was the first Spanish player to reach 50 international goals. He retired with 59 goals in 98 international appearances.

2012 - Fernando Torres (Spain) – 3 goals

Being the goalscorer in the finals of Euro 2008. Fernando Torres continued his incredible run in the Euro 2012 scoring three goals and one assist. Torres made his first impact scoring twice against the Republic of Ireland and securing a 4-0 win and qualification to the next round. His efficiency in the finals against Italy earned him the Golden Boot and Spain the Euros.

Torres scored all of his goals coming from the bench and his performance helped Spain win the championship twice in a row. Torres has also been the winner of the FA Cup, UEFA Champions League, and UEFA Europa League. He holds the record of being the fastest player in Liverpool history to score 50 goals.

2020 - Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) – 5 goals

Ronaldo started his campaign with a goal against Hungary leading to a 3-0 victory. Despite Ronaldo’s contribution in the second game Portugal suffered a shocking 4-2 defeat.

In the final group game against France Ronaldo helped Portugal qualify for the knockouts by scoring a goal in a 2-2 draw. Portugal couldn’t retain the championship after suffering a 1-0 loss against Belgium in the last 16 of the UEFA Euro 2020. Ronaldo is gearing up to represent Portugal in UEFA Euro 2024. Being one of the most successful players in the football history.

Sports governing bodies are constantly tweaking the rules of play to enhance competition, player safety, and fan experience. Several major leagues rolled out impactful new regulations for the 2024 season. Let's explore some of the most notable changes in sports rules introduced across football, baseball, soccer, cricket, rugby, and more this year.

New Kickoff Format in the NFL

The NFL overhauled its kickoff rules for 2024 in an effort to improve safety and boost excitement. Kickoffs now feature a "landing zone" between the receiving team's goal line and 20-yard line. Aside from the kicker, the kicking team lines up 5 yards apart at the receiving team's 40-yard line. They can't move until the ball is caught or hits the ground.

This setup encourages more returns while reducing high-speed collisions that commonly cause concussions. Additional changes allow creative onside kick attempts in the 4th quarter. So far, the revamped kickoffs have been well-received. Returns are up, injuries are down, and fans are enjoying the intriguing strategic implications.

Fewer 100-Minute Matches at Euro 2024

Football matches stretching well over 100 minutes due to excessive injury time were commonplace at the 2022 World Cup. But Europe's governing body UEFA took a different approach for its 2024 European Championship tournament. Rather than meticulously adding on every second lost to celebrations and subs, referees focused on restarting play quickly.

As a result, Euro 2024 matches adhered much closer to 90 minutes on average. Only captains could speak to referees, reducing dissent. VAR explanations were also displayed on stadium screens to improve transparency. While some fans missed the added drama, others appreciated UEFA reining in meandering matches.

New Pace-of-Play Rules in Major League Baseball

MLB introduced several subtle but impactful rule tweaks for 2024 designed to improve pace-of-play. The pitch timer was reduced from 20 to 18 seconds with runners on base, attempting to claw back some of the time increase observed over the course of last season.

Mound visits were reduced from 5 to 4 per team. Pitching changes now shave 15 seconds off the between-innings timer. Circumvention tactics like delaying the pitcher's arrival to the mound and meeting the umpire before he places the ball in play are now prohibited.

While games still averaged nearly 3 hours, these changes represent MLB's continued efforts to combat dead time. Fans have responded positively to the increased flow and action.

MLB also issued new guidance aimed at reducing unsafe blocking of bases. Players will be called for obstruction if they position themselves to impede a runner's path before receiving the ball. This protects baserunners while encouraging aggressive base-running.

New Penalty Law in English Football

One of the most discussed rule changes in English football this season regards penalties. IFAB clarified that referees should not automatically show a yellow card to players who commit handball and concede a penalty. This gives referees more flexibility when interpreting intent on handballs.

The aim is to only caution players for deliberate, tactical fouls. Inadvertent handballs leading to penalties should not draw a booking. This nuanced approach has received praise for balancing fairness and common sense application of the rules. Those who take advantage of a free bet offer from Kwiff and bet on bookings will need to bear this new rule in mind.

More Points for Drawn Matches in County Cricket

In the 2024 County Championship cricket tournament, a drawn match will now be rewarded with 8 points for each county. This is increased from 5 points for a draw last season. The aim is to better incentivise teams to bat long while still pushing for victory.

With batting bonus points unchanged, the tweaked draw points system should encourage high-quality pitches and competitive multi-day cricket.

New Offside Law in Rugby

World Rugby introduced a law change regarding offside in front of a kicker for 2024. Previously, a player could be deemed onside if the opposing catcher ran 5 meters or passed the ball after fielding a kick. The new law removes these allowances, requiring offside players to actively work to get onside rather than remaining stationary. This should reduce "kick tennis" stalemates and improve flow.

The key sports leagues are thinking creatively about how to improve their product. It will be fascinating to see what new regulations are tested out across various sports in the years to come. For now, the early returns on this year's crop of rule changes are largely positive. The altered kick-off format, pitch timer adjustments, and base-blocking guidance all seem to be enhancing their respective sports.

Hello and Welcome to SportzPoint for another UEFA Euro 2024 Live. The Final between Spain and England will kick off at 12.30 am IST. Stay tuned for all the live updates.

Spain Men's National Football Team's History in Major Tournaments

The first Spain national football team was made in 1920 to find a team that would represent Spain at the 1920 Summer Olympics held in Belgium. Spain made their debut against Denmark and managed to win that match by a scoreline of 1–0, eventually finishing with the silver medal. Spain qualified for their first FIFA World Cup in 1934, defeating Brazil in their first game and losing in a replay to the hosts and eventual champions Italy in the quarter-finals.

At the 1950 finals in Brazil, they topped their group and then finished in fourth place. Until 2010, this was Spain's highest finish in the FIFA World Cup finals. Spain won its first major international title when it hosted the 1964 European Nations' Cup, defeating the Soviet Union 2–1 in the final at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. It was Spain's lone major title for 44 years. 

In the UEFA Euro 1984, Spain reached the final but they lost the final against France. At UEFA Euro 2008, Spain won all their games in Group D. They faced Italy in the quarter-finals match, which Spain won 4–2 on penalties. They then beat Russia in the semi-finals by 3–0. In the final, Spain defeated Germany 1–0, with Fernando Torres scoring the only goal of the game. This was Spain's first major title since the 1964 European Championship.

In the 2010 World Cup, Spain advanced to the final for the first time by defeating Germany 1–0. Iniesta scored the only goal in the final against the Dutches. Spain became the third team to win a World Cup outside their continent, and the first European team to do so. They then became the first team to retain the European Championship, winning the final 4–0 against Italy.

Since then Spain have won only one title, the 2023 Nations League by beating Croatia in the Final via penalty shootout. After the 2012 Euro triumph, Spain faced several heartbreaks. They were eliminated from the group stage of the 2014 World Cup. At Euro 2016 and the 2018 World Cup, La Roja reached the last 16 in both tournaments but lost to Italy 2–0 and Russia 4-3 on penalties. In the UEFA Euro 2020, held in 2021, Spain reached the last four of a major tournament for the first time since 2012. But, it didn't end well as they lost to eventual champions Italy by 4–2 on penalties.

The same year they managed to reach the 2021 UEFA Nations League final but lost to France. In the 2022 World Cup, Spain lost to Morocco 3–0 on penalties in the Round of 16.

In the ongoing UEFA Euro 2024 Spain progressed to the Round of 16 after winning all three matches and without conceding a single goal. They beat Georgia in the round of 16 by 4–1.

Football Transfer News: 10 players to attract big bids after Euro 2024

Marc Cucurella | Spain

The Chelsea full-back Marc Cucurella is proving every doubters wrong with his consistent sensational performances in the UEFA Euro 2024. La Roja reached the final with a brilliant defensive record, conceding just four times in six games, and keeping two clean sheets. Marc Cucurella deserves a lot of credit and he will be hoping to deliver that in the final too. He was struggling in Chelsea after a big-money move from Brighton but it seems like he has found his form back.

Marc Guehi | England

Marc Guehi replaced the injured Harry Maguire ahead of the UEFA Euro 2024. There was not much expectation from the Crystal Palace defender but he has been one of the best players for the Three Lions in the Euro 2024. Gareth Southgate's side have been solid at the back and The 23-year-old has been exceptional with John Stones at the back. After those stellar performances, he will expect some big clubs to fight for him in the summer transfer window.

Fabian Ruiz | Spain

La Roja are in the final of the UEFA Euro 2024 and they have been the best team in the tournament. One of the reasons behind Spain's brilliant run in the tournament is Fabian Ruiz. De la Fuente has been his biggest supporter of Fabian and the PSG midfielder is ruling the midfield in every game. Of all midfielders at the Euro 2024 to have played over 180 minutes, Fabian ranks seventh for completed dribbles per 90 minutes. With three goals and two assists, he has been one of the best players in this year's tournament.

Lamine Yamal | Spain

"What were you doing when you were 16?" Lamine Yamal is asking this question to everyone with his consistent fiery performances. At 16 years old, Lamine Yamal is the youngest player ever to score a goal at a major international tournament. He is making headlines in every game and will play in the Final of the Euro 2024 with Spain. He is a first-team player who starts every game and then comes up with a perfect performance.

Yamal is being compared with Lionel Messi already and may lift his first international title much earlier than the Argentine great. He will be wanted by every football club on the planet in the ongoing summer transfer window, but he will likely remain at his boyhood club Barcelona.

William Saliba | France

William Saliba performed brilliantly for Arsenal in the 2023-24 season and there were high expectations from Saliba before the beginning of the Euro 2024. He didn't disappoint and stood out as one of the best defenders in the tournament. Les Bleus didn't concede a single goal from open play in the five matches before the semi-final, and lots of credit should go to Saliba.

France were pretty wasteful in their attack and paid the price by getting knocked out of the competition in the semi-final against Spain. Saliba is likely to remain at Arsenal but his transfer value will surely go up after this stellar season.

Arda Guler | Turkey

Arda Guler was injured for almost 90% of the last season but the Real Madrid fans got to see some glimpses which were more than impressive. He showed why he was being called the Turkish Messi before arriving in Madrid. He entered the EURO 2024 with a stunning strike from outside the box against Georgia in the first group-stage game, before becoming one of the best players for his nation in the tournament. The 19-year-old led his side to the quarter-final and after this successful campaign, his price will surely go up in the transfer market but will likely remain in Los Blancos.

Georges Mikautadze | Georgia

Georges Mikautadze is attracting big clubs from Europe already after a sensational campaign with Georgia in the Euro 2024. He netted three times as Georgia qualified for the Round of 16 in their tournament debut, After a huge 2-0 victory over Portugal, they were able to make it further and lots of credit should go to Mikautadze. The 23-year-old has done remarkable things in the tournament and will expect to sign a big club rather than play in the second division in France.

Giorgi Mamardashvili | Georgia

Giorgi Mamardashvili holds this year's record for most saves in the tournament. Georgia also conceded eight times in just four games at EURO 2024 but Mamardashvili made 29 saves during that time. If it wasn't for him, Georgia could have easily been out of the group stage. He is only 23 and plays for Valencia in the La Liga but it will be hard for the club to stop him from signing up for a European Giant. His saves are almost double the number of his nearest competitor (Netherlands' Bart Verbruggen with 17). He may appear in the UEFA Euro 2024 Team of the Tournament as things are going.

Diogo Costa | Portugal

Despite having so many world-class players, Portugal struggled throughout the campaign and got knocked out of the campaign by France in the quarter-final. The only positive from Portugal's campaign was Diogo Costa. He couldn't help Portugal in the penalty shootout of the quarter-final, but his heroics in the round of 16, which saw him save all three of Slovenia's penalties in the shootout, will be fondly remembered for quite some time. Not only that but he pulled off some crucial saves in every game. He currently plays for Porto and is already attracting many big clubs ahead of the upcoming season.

Dani Olmo | Spain

European clubs are already trying to get their hand on Dani Olmo after his magnificent Euro 2024 campaign. He is not only helping his side with his goals and assists but his workrate is unmatchable. The RB Leipzig forward has already scored 3 goals and provided 2 assists in the Euro 2024 for La Roja. With Rodri and Fabian Ruiz in De la Fuente's midfield, Dani Olmo is flying high. He wasn't the first choice and was coming off the bench earlier in the tournament. But after Pedri's injury, he is starting games and giving his best.

Luis de la Fuente's Spain will face Gareth Southgate's England in the UEFA Euro 2024 Final match at the Olympiastadion Berlin, Germany on 15th July, Monday. England have some world-class players in their squads but haven't played attacking football throughout the campaign. On the other side, Spain looks like a far more stable team. They knocked out France in the Semi-Final while Jude Bellingham's side beat the Dutches in the Semi-Final. From possible starting XIs to Fantasy predictions, here is everything you need to know about the Spain vs England Final match in the UEFA Euro 2024.

The reports of Alvaro Morata picking up his second yellow card of the tournament in the 2-1 extra-time win over hosts Germany in the quarter-finals proved false but, Spain were handed an injury scare over Morata. When a security guard slipped and crashed into his knee during the post-match celebrations, it seemed like he had sustained an injury.

But, De La Fuente said that Morata would be fit and would start the game. Unai Simon has been a wall at the goal and Laporte has also performed consistently throughout the tournament. Olmo is one of the best players in the tournament and he will start with Rodri and Ruiz in the midfield.

Williams and Yamal who will turn 17 before the final will start in the wing. Yamal became the youngest scorer in the history of the Euros when he scored a sensational goal outside the box against France in the semi-final. He will try to carry on his performance in the final too.

England

Southgate is relying on a 3-4-2-1 system for England and is expected to do the same against Spain in the Final. Luke Shaw is fit and will try everything to start ahead of Kieran Trippier in the Final. After coming off the bench in the last two games and replacing Trippier at half-time in Dortmund, the Manchester United defender has looked very good.

Watkins scored the winner in the semi-final and would like to start ahead of Harry Kane but it will most likely not happen. Kane has been a disappointment for much of the tournament despite scoring three goals. He hasn't played his best game so Southgate should think twice before starting him on Monday.

Our captain has become the player with most goals in the knockout stage of men’s EURO history.@HKane has also equalled the record of @alanshearer as the #ThreeLions' all-time leading goalscorer in the competition. pic.twitter.com/9I2UB9opeL

Manchester United's young talent Kobbie Mainoo is giving nightmares to every opposition midfielder right now. Rodri has already faced Mainoo a couple of times and he knows what the 19-year-old can do. Foden also hasn't impressed the fans but is a big player and is expected to step up. Saka and Rice are having a good tournament and they would like to carry on those performances in the Final.
