Euro 2020 was truly special in many ways.
Not only was it held in multiple places, a tournament-first, but it also created many interesting records along the way.
It saw the highest number of goals ever scored, with 142; Italy became champions after 53 years - the longest gap between two titles by a side, while England became just the third side in history to lose a final on home soil.
But we're just skimming the surface here. There have been plenty more records created over the last month, but these five are the most significant ones created at Euro 2020:
#5 Most own goals scored in a single Euros
If own goal was a person, he would've easily nicked the Golden Boot off Cristiano Ronaldo, who bagged the prize after netting five times for Portugal.
Euro 2020 saw a unique milestone created with 11 own goals, more than all other editions combined.
There had been only nine such goals in the tournament's history, but this one alone surpassed that mark, starting with Turkey's Merih Demiral in the opening game against eventual winners Italy.
It opened the floodgates with five more self-goals in the group stages before another five in the knockouts. The last one came from Simon Kjaer of Denmark when he converted a cross into his own net in their semi-final clash with England.
Portugal also created the unwanted record of being the first team to concede two goals in a game when Ruben Dias and Raphael Guerreiro put the ball in their own net against Germany.
Slovakia then followed suit with two against Spain a few days later.
#4 Kacper Kozlowski became the youngest ever player at the Euros
Poland didn't make it far at Euro 2020, but the tournament was still special for Kacper Kozlowski, who set a very important record.
At 17 years and 246 days, he became the youngest ever player to feature at the European Championships after coming on for the Eagles in their group match against Spain.
He surpassed Jude Bellingham, who set the same record just six days earlier, but the English starlet is 13 days older than him, which is why the record eventually went to Kozlowski after his appearance.
Before these two, the distinction of being the youngest participant at the Euros was held by Jetro Willems of the Netherlands, who, at 18 years and 71 days, played against Denmark in Euro 2012.
#3 Spain record joint-biggest victory with 5-0 demolition of Slovakia
For only the fifth time in history, a team won by a 5-0 scoreline in the Euros when Spain thumped Slovakia by putting a quintet of goals past them.
La Roja was in rampant form that evening, needing a win to progress from the group, and secured their path to the last-16 with a resounding victory, which also included two own goals.
In the process, it also became the joint-biggest victory at the European Championships, equaling the record set by four other sides in previous editions.
France beat Belgium 5-0 in 1964 before Denmark followed suit against the Soviet Union in the same tournament.
In 2000, the Netherlands thrashed Yugoslavia with the same score, while Sweden registered an identical victory against Bulgaria in Euro 2004.
#2 Luke Shaw scored the fastest-ever goal in a Euro final
England's first goal in a major final in 55 years came from an unlikely source.
Luke Shaw broke the deadlock as early as the second minute by latching onto a delightful cross from Kieran Trippier, giving the hosts the lead.
At 116 seconds, it clocked the fastest-ever goal scored in a European Championship final, surpassing the previous record of five minutes and 17 seconds by Spain's Chus Pereda in the 1964 showpiece clash against the Soviet Union.
A goal in just a minute and 56 seconds is very fast, but it's still not the fastest-ever scored in the European Championship. In fact, it ranks only fifth on the all-time list.
The distinction of scoring the fastest goal still belongs to Russia's Dmitri Kirichenko, who took only 67 seconds to score against Greece in Euro 2004.
Emil Forsberg and Yussuf Poulsen came really close with strikes after 82 and 99 seconds respectively at Euro 2020.
#1 Cristiano Ronaldo became the all-time leading scorer at the Euros
Scoring goals is Cristiano Ronaldo's routine, and winning the Golden Boot is his raison d'etre. With a respectable five goals at the Euros, the Portuguese ace picked up yet another Golden Boot, his first at a major international tournament.
In the process, he also surpassed Michel Platini's all-time record of nine goals in the European Championship to set a new one of 14 - another feather in his already bulging cap.
He broke the French legend's record in the first game against Hungary when he netted a brace, before adding three more to his tally in games against heavyweights Germany and France.
Given this was likely his last European adventure with Portugal, it was some way to bow out. The record is set to stand for some time too, considering Antoine Griezmann, the next best scorer active, is currently on seven goals.
