With the beginning of the greatest European football show, millions of fans will root for their favorite players. Who are the top footballers to cast their spell in the UEFA European Championship? Here is a lowdown on the footballers we are rooting for.
Kylian Mbappe
Kylian Mbappe is undoubtedly the bookies’ favourite to be the top scorer in the tournament. The French striker’s epic hat trick could not defeat Argentina in the epic World Cup 2022 final, but it fetched him the Golden Boot with eight goals. Will he be the highest scorer in this UEFA European Championship? Only time will tell.
Cody Gakpo
The Netherlands’ Cody Gakpo is another contender for the highest scorer in this tournament. In the World Cup 2022, the Liverpool forward scored three goals. The UEFA European Championship will be a testing field for this young scorer.
Romelu Lukaku
Belgium’s Romelu Lukaku bagged the Bronze Boot in the 2018 World Cup with four goals in seven matches. He is the country’s all-time top goal scorer. The 31-year-old Belgian footballer will aim to set all the records straight with his current scoring spree.
Robert Lewandowski
Robert Lewandowski is one of the strong men of the Polish side in this tournament. This 35-year-old Barcelona striker owns the statistics of 82 goals in 148 appearances. He is in his form in this tournament so far.
Cristiano Ronaldo
GOAT or not, Cristiano Ronaldo is an all-time favourite for football lovers all over the world. This Portuguese goal machine needs no introduction. This UEFA European Championship will be his 12th international tournament and also a chance to win two back-to-back Golden Boots after scoring five goals in Euro 2020.
