Cristiano Ronaldo has won the Euro 2020 Golden Boot award as no English or Italian player managed to surpass his tally in the final on Sunday, July 11.
Ronaldo scored five goals in the competition – the same as Czech Republic attacker Patrik Schick – but won the award via the tie-breaker of assists. Three of his goals came from the penalty spot, while the other two came from open play against Hungary and Germany.
Despite Ronaldo’s output, Portugal was eliminated in the last 16 through a 1-0 loss to Belgium.
After Ronaldo and Schick at five goals apiece, four players finished on four goals: Harry Kane, Karim Benzema, Emil Forsberg and Romelu Lukaku.
His five goals came in only four games -360 minutes – at Euro 2020
