In this article, we will learn about each major country’s top scorer in the history of the European championship. We will also learn about the players who have scored at multiple Euro editions.
Not only is Harry Kane pursuing Alan Shearer for the Premier League scoring record, but the Newcastle icon is now trailing England in the European Championship goals scored.
Although Alvaro Morata has a respectable record for Spain at the international level, his six goals have not been enough to lead La Roja to victory in the Champions League, and Italy has struggled to produce a reliable goal scorer at competitions.
Two goals apiece from Matteo Pessina, Federico Chiesa, Lorenzo Insigne, Manuel Locatelli, and Ciro Immobile propelled them to victory at Euro 2020.
