Since Patrick Schick equalised to Cristiano Ronaldo in the list of maximum artillerymen of the Eurocopa, after annotating in the defeat of Czech Republic (1-2) in the quarter-finals, had generated a lot of doubt regarding the player that, to remain the things as they are, went to carry the recognition of the Boot of Gold of the continental tournament. The UEFA has commissioned to leave clear that the Portuguese keeps on being the 'owner' of the trophy up to now.

Although both add five goals in the tournament, the Portuguese star has in favour that it also delivered an assistance. For the 'tiebreaker', the European organism taking in account this point, reason by which would be carrying the trophy if somebody more does not reach him and surpasses him, besides, with assistances. For the moment, there is three clear goleadores in the 'fight': the English Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling and the Danish Kasper Dolberg, with three so many each one.

This yes, before them in the table of classification find two players more: Karim Benzema (France) and Romelu Lukaku (Belgium) with four goals in his account, but already have been deleted of the tournament and leave to the three above-mentioned footballers like the only able to surpass to the forward of the Juventus.
