Europe’s premier strikers are in fierce competition, balancing personal accolades with team triumphs in their quest to lead the goal-scoring charts at Euro 2024.

The biennial continental showdown, hosted in Germany, showcases the world’s finest sharpshooters, all vying for the prestigious Golden Boot award.

Cristiano Ronaldo made history by becoming the tournament's all-time top scorer with five goals at Euro 2020, pushing his overall tally to 14 and clinching the Golden Boot. His stellar performance edged out the relatively lesser-known Patrik Schick of the Czech Republic, who also netted five times.

Legendary names like Antonie Griezmann, Fernando Torres, Alan Shearer, and Gerd Muller have previously claimed this coveted prize. Now, hopefuls such as Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappe, Jamal Musiala, and Romelu Lukaku are aiming to add their names to this illustrious list.

While some players have made a flying start, others face a challenging climb to contend for the top spots as we progress through the final group matches and into the knockout stage.

Here’s a look at the current top scorers:

• Georges Mikautadze (Georgia) - 3 goals

• Jamal Musiala (Germany) - 2 goals

• Ivan Schranz (Slovakia) - 2 goals

• Niclas Fullkrug (Germany) - 2 goals
