Euro 2020 top scorers are closing in on the Golden Boot with just a scattering of matches left to be played and an intriguing battle developing between eliminated stars and rising heroes.
Cristiano Ronaldo had raced into the lead with five goals – including three penalties – and continues to top the charts, but he is not the outright leader.
Czech Republic star Patrik Schick has enjoyed a breakout tournament and sits level with Ronaldo in the driving seat. The intriguing aspect comes as both players have been ditched from the tournament and could be caught in the final couple of matches.
England star Raheem Sterling is among the top contenders to push for the prestigious award, while 2018 World Cup Golden Boot winner Harry Kane is also weaving his way into contention after two strikes against Ukraine.
The final week of matches are set to produce an abundance of fireworks for many different reasons, but the top scorers battle is certainly one to keep an eye on given the open nature of the contest this year.
RadioTimes.com has rounded up everything you need to know about the Euro 2020 top scorers and who needs to step up to win the Golden Boot in 2021.
