Ronaldo makes history, becomes the top scorer of the Euros!

He is Portugal’s top scorer, has scored the most goals in the history of the Champions League and has now claimed another valuable record. The star CR7 has become the all-time top scorer in the European Championship. He did it in the opening game against Hungary (3-0), in which he scored 2 goals.

This took him to 11 goals and put him at the top of the scoring table. He surpassed the legendary Michel Platini, who held the record for 37 years. Which other legends are among the Euro’s greatest cannonballers?

Platini, Shearer, Ibrahimovic, Henry. These are the names that historically belong to the most successful scorers of the European Football Championship. This group of great strikers has a new king.

So far, Michel Platini has scored the most goals (9 goals). Ronaldo has also scored the same number of goals. It was only a matter of time before he would surpass the legendary Frenchman at the top of the scorers’ table.

Portugal beat Hungary 3-0 and Ronaldo scored 2 goals himself. And it was clear. Ronaldo achieved his dream record and became the top scorer in Euro history with 11 goals.

With these goals, the Portuguese has also set two more records. The first player to play in 5 European Championships. The first player to score at least a goal in all 5 tournaments.

While Ronaldo needed 5 championships to score 11 goals, Platini scored all his 9 goals at Euro 1984! The Frenchman led the scorers table for 37 years. Can Ronaldo be at the top for that long?

It’s hard to say. It depends on whether the Portuguese stops at number 11 or adds even more goals. Then his record could be absolutely unbeatable.
