3) Most Euros scored in by a player
Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are no doubt, two great players but in the past both were criticized for one thing, not winning a trophy with their respective national teams. But Ronaldo can finally cross that off his list after he lifted the Euro 2016 trophy alongside his teammates this summer.
Leo Messi sadly did not have the same luck after his third consecutive defeat in a major tournament final with Argentina. Ronaldo has now managed to score in all of the four European championships he has played in which incidentally is a record.
He scored two goals in Euro 2004, once in Euro 2008, three times in Euro 2012 in which he was the joint top scorer and of course in Euro 2016 as well, the tournament in which he helped his team win the coveted trophy.
This is one record that might take a long time to break given how difficult it is to play in four consecutive Euros, not to mention having to make your national team as a teenager. Maybe Renato Sanches could be the next to break his countryman’s record.
