UEFA makes it clear: Cristiano would continue to be a Golden Boot

Although his team was eliminated at the hands of Denmark, Czech striker Patrik Schick scored his fifth goal during the European Championship and equaled Cristiano Ronaldo, but the Portuguese will continue to be Golden Boot if nobody reaches them or does it without having given some assistance at least.

UEFA takes the decisive passes into consideration to determine the top scorer trophy in the event of a tie. And he makes it clear in the classification he publishes on his website. Schick ends his participation with five goals, one of them from a penalty. Cristiano I need three times of the 11 meters to get that same figure, but also gave an assist, against Germany.

In the main scorer rankings, only other players also eliminated remain close: the French Benzema, the Swede Forsberg and the Belgian Lukaku, all of them with four goals. Among those who have three there are three still in competition: the English Sterling and Kane and the Danish Dolberg.

Having two footballers with five or more goals in the tournament is a Eurocup milestone that equals the 2000 edition, when the Dutch Kluivert and the Serbian Milosevic reached that figure. Apart from the two of them, Cristiano and Schick, these are the ones who have so far scored five goals or more in the same European national team tournament: Michel Platini (9, 1984), Van Basten (5, 1988), Shearer (5, 1996) Baros (5, 2004) and Griezmann (6, 2016).
