Who Scored the Most Goals in the European Championship?

The UEFA EURO 2020 European Championship will be held starting Friday, June 11, 2021. The European international football championship was delayed last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This event will also serve as a proving ground for strikers to become the top goal scorers in Europe.

Cristiano Ronaldo, a Portuguese footballer, holds the record for the most goals scored in the European Championship since its inception in 1960, with nine goals. This same record is also held by French footballer Michel Platini.

Alan Shearer of England scored seven goals in the European Championship. This is one goal more than Antoine Griezmann (France), Thierry Henry (France), and Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Sweden).

Several players have also scored six goals in the European Championship: Patrik Kluivert (Netherlands), Nuno Gomes (Portugal), Wayne Rooney (England), and Ruud van Nistelrooy (Netherlands).

The European Championship is held every four years. The tournament, originally scheduled for last year, was postponed to 2021 due to the global Covid-19 pandemic.

This year, the European Championship will begin on Friday, June 11th. This football competition will be participated in by 24 countries and will be held across 11 participating countries. This is the 16th edition of the tournament since its first staging.
