Why Euro 2024 Top Goal Scorer Award is Shared Among Six Player; See Player’s Names
By Efosa Taiwo
At the conclusion of Euro 2024, Spain’s midfielder Dani Olmo, along with five other players, was honored as the top goal scorer of the tournament, each netting three goals. The other recipients of the Golden Boot are England’s Harry Kane, Georgia’s Georges Mikautadze, the Netherlands’ Cody Gakpo, Slovakia’s Ivan Schranz, and Germany’s Jamal Musiala.
In a departure from previous tournaments where assists were used to break ties, UEFA decided that this year’s top scorer award would be based solely on the number of goals scored. This change meant that, despite Olmo potentially leading in assists, he shared the accolade with the others who also scored three goals.
Ahead of the final in Berlin, both Harry Kane of England and Dani Olmo of Spain were leading with three goals each. However, neither player was able to add to their tally in the final match.
