According to CCTV5 program list (March 4, 2024), the group stage of the European Cup has ended, and the 16 teams that have entered the knockout phase have been released. In this process, we also witnessed many wonderful goals and fierce matches. Behind these goals, there are also competitions for the Golden Boot Award.

The Golden Boot Award of the European Cup is one of the highest honors in European football. It honors the players who scored the most goals in the European Cup. The winners of the previous European Cup Golden Boot Awards are legendary figures in football, such as Platini, Van Basten, Cruivet, Torres, etc. At this European Cup, the competition for the Golden Boot Award is also extremely fierce, which may be shared by many people.

According to the ranking rules of UEFA's official European Cup goalscorer list, if two or more players have the same number of goals, then the number of assists, who has less playing time, and the number of goals in the knockout match will be seen in turn. If they are still unable to compete, these players will jointly win the Golden Boot Award. This happened once in the history of the European Cup. In 2012, Torres, Balotelli, Gomez, Manjukic, David Silva and Cristiano Ronaldo all tied for the Golden Boot Award with three goals.

In this European Cup, after the end of the current group stage, the top of the goalscorer list is also a scuffle. At present, Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo has scored the most goals. He has scored five goals in three group matches, including two penalty kicks. The Czech Republic's Patrick Schick was closely followed. He also scored three goals in three group matches, including a stunning midfield drop shot. In addition to these two players, there are as many as nine players ranking third with the number of goals of two goals. They are France's Benzema, Belgium's Lukaku, the Netherlands's Weinaldum, Sweden's Isak, Italy's Imobelle, Wales's Bell, Turkey's Almaz, Switzerland's Shakiri and Ukraine's Almolenko.

From these data, we can see that the competition for the Golden Boot Award in the European Cup is far from over, and the knockout phase will be the key to determine the ownership of the Golden Boot. In the knockout match, it depends not only on the individual ability and state of the players, but also on the overall performance and schedule of the team. After all, the farther you can play, the more chances you have to score goals. Among the players competing for the Golden Boot, some have a relatively easy schedule, while others are facing the test of powerful enemies.

For example, Ronaldo's Portugal team will meet the World Cup champion France in the 1/8 final, which is a tough battle. If they pass the test, they may also meet the European Cup defending champion Belgium in the 1/4 final, which is undoubtedly a challenge for Ronaldo's goal count. The Czech team where Sik belongs is going to play against the Netherlands, which is not an easy game. The Netherlands won all three games in the group game, and has excellent offensive and defensive performance. Whether Sik can continue to score goals depends on whether he can seize the opportunity.

In contrast, the matches between Lukaku's Belgium team and Imobile's Italy team are relatively smooth. Belgium will meet one of Portugal, France and Germany in the 1/8 final. This is a difficult game, but if they pass the test, their opponents in the 1/4 final will be easier, maybe Switzerland or Croatia. The Italian team played against the Austrian team in the 1/8 final, which is a weak opponent. The Italian team has a great chance to advance. In the 1/4 final, their opponents may be France or Spain, which is also a close match.

To sum up, the competition for the Golden Boot of the European Cup has not been settled yet, and the knockout phase will be the final battle. We are looking forward to seeing more wonderful goals and who can finally win the trophy.
