English striker Harry Kane and Spain’s Dani Olmo are among six players who have shared the Euro 2024 Golden Boot, having all scored three goals during the tournament.
Cody Gakpo (Netherlands), Georges Mikautadze (Georgia), Jamal Musiala (Germany), and Ivan Schranz (Slovakia) make up the remaining four.
UEFA confirmed on Friday that they would share the Euro 2024 Golden Boot between six players if Kane or Olmo did not break out of the three zones in the Euro’s final.
This is an upgrade in policy, as the number of assists counted during this selection in previous tournaments.
At Euro 2020, Cristiano Ronaldo won the Golden Boot, though he had scored the same amount of goals as Czechia’s Patrik Schick (5). His one assist counted.
Kane is the second Englishman to win the award after Alan Shearer finished as top scorer with five goals at Euro ’96. The 30-year-old has also won a Golden Boot after scoring six times at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
The Bayern Munich forward has become the third player in history to have won the Golden Boot at both the Euros and the World Cup.
Olmo started just three of Spain’s seven matches at Euro 2024, before taking Barcelona midfielder Pedri’s place in the team after he was injured in the quarterfinal victory over hosts Germany. He scored all his goals in Spain’s three matches in the group stage.
