Top scorer Euro 2024: our favorites
Mbappé is the favorite for the Golden Shoe. His speed, technique and ability to play in different registers make him a serious candidate for the title.
But be careful: football is an unpredictable sport. Many other players could also emerge. The performances of players and teams during the tournament will be decisive for the award of this prestigious title.
The top scorers are generally:
- Wingers or striker
- At the center of their team’s system
- In a team that reaches at least the 1/2 finals
- Penalty takers
Kylian Mbappé
Kylian Mbappé is also one of the favorites for the title of top scorer. He has great freedom on the pitch and is capable of scoring in different registers: in percussion and second intention in particular.
He is one of the driving forces of the team in attack and the other players naturally gravitate towards him. He therefore benefits from many opportunities. His precision, composure and sense of goal will be very valuable.
Mbappé scored 9 goals during the Euro 2024 qualifiers, a total which places him in 3rd position among scorers. During the last World Cup, he finished in 1st position in the scorers’ rankings with 8 goals.
Another point to note: he can take penalties, which guarantees him an additional goal cushion.
Harry Kane
According to bookmakers, Harry Kane has every chance of being crowned top scorer of the tournament this year. He is in great shape, but he has a crucial place in Gareth Southgate’s system.
Furthermore, England have a good chance of being at least in the top 4. Which further increases the probability that he will be a top scorer.
But looking closer, Kane has a fairly low performance in major competitions: only 0.57 goals/match during Euro 2020 where England reached the final. At the last World Cup, he scored 0.45 goals.
Harry Kane may have the bookmakers behind him, but it is unlikely that he will finish top scorer in the competition.
Florian Wirtz
Florian Wirtz could be one of the surprises of this Euro. An essential element in the club, he found a place in Julian Naggelsmann’s squad.
Wirtz stood out by scoring the second fastest goal in history, against France. A technical player and very skilled in front of goal, he has scored 7 goals in the Bundesliga this year (total as of April 4).
Although he is not a pure striker, he could do well in a context where the top scorer in the competition is around 5/6 goals.
Cristiano Ronaldo
Ronaldo has made the talk again this year. He scored 10 goals in qualifying with Portugal.
At 39 years old, he remains a very important part of the team. He has a very wide offensive range, which makes him an ideal candidate for the Golden Boot.
Ronaldo finished top scorer in the last Euro with 5 goals. A performance all the more admirable as Portugal was eliminated in the round of 16.
Ronaldo has every chance of making his mark on the competition this year. As long as he doesn’t get hurt.
Patrick Schick
Patrik Schick was at the top of the scorers’ rankings 4 years ago with 5 goals. He took full advantage of the very good performance of the Czech Republic, which had reached the quarter-finals.
Schick is in good shape this year. Very regular with Bayer Leverkusen, he has scored 11 goals in 22 matches played this season (total as of April 4). However, it is difficult to comment on his real chances of winning the Golden Shoe title.
Romelu Lukaku
Lukaku finished at the top of the scorers’ rankings during the qualifiers, with 14 goals, 4 more than Kylian Mbappé. It will be Belgium’s main offensive weapon.
During the last Euro, Lukaku scored 4 goals, as many as Harry Kane. At club level, he is barely above 10 goals, a fairly low total for a top striker.
The center forward’s performance will depend above all on that of his team. And let’s be clear: Belgium is far from being one of the favorites this year. Difficult to see Lukaku finishing top scorer at Euro 2024.
