EVERY European player would have dreamt of leading their country to the Euro 2024 title at least once this summer – but attackers would love to get ahold of the Golden Boot just as badly.
It was no surprise to see Cristiano Ronaldo finish top of the goal-scoring leaderboards in the previous Euros edition.

The Portuguese perfectionist’s five goals helped him to add another Golden Boot to his long list of accolades.
But Ronaldo, 39, will need to be on top form if he is to reclaim his crown with the likes of exquisite England captain Harry Kane and French phenomenon Kylian Mbappe lurking.
However, surprisingly, none of the three superstars above are leading the race.
And this is bad for UFC icon Conor McGregor who has placed a huge £51,000 bet on Ronaldo to win it again.
Here are the current Euro 2024 top goal scorer leaderboards.
