Cristiano Ronaldo, Harry Kane, and Kylian Mbappe are all aiming for European Championship glory this summer, with the tournament set to take place in Germany. As captains and key players for Portugal, England, and France respectively, they are expected to inspire their teams and lead them to success.
These forwards are known for their impressive goal-scoring records, driven by their immense talent and determination. Ronaldo, in particular, is renowned for his exceptional goal-scoring ability and relentless pursuit of goals.
Former England international Danny Mills suggests that Ronaldo’s competitive nature sets him apart from his peers. According to Mills, Ronaldo wouldn’t be satisfied with just winning the Euros; he would also want to be in contention for the Golden Boot. Speaking to BetVictor, Mills said, “The Golden Boot, yes it’s great, but it’s only great if you win the tournament. I know centre forwards can be a little selfish at times, but I think Harry Kane would accept one goal in the Euros and winning it. Kylian Mbappe hasn’t scored in the Euros before. I’m pretty sure he would take one goal and a tournament win too. But maybe Cristiano Ronaldo wouldn’t.”
Mills also pointed out the unpredictability of winning the Golden Boot. A player could have an exceptional game, scoring multiple goals and suddenly becoming a contender. The number of games played and who takes the penalties can also skew the numbers. While strikers often receive the accolades, Mills emphasized the importance of a strong defense and an excellent goalkeeper for winning major tournaments, aspects that are sometimes overlooked.
At Euro 2024, neither Mbappe, who is recovering from a broken nose, nor the 39-year-old Ronaldo have scored yet. Kane, who has faced scrutiny over his performance for England, has netted once. Currently, Niklas Fullkrug, Georges Mikautadze, Jamal Musiala, and Ivan Schranz lead the goal-scoring charts with two goals each.
