Gareth Southgate led England to the final at the last European Championships but were dealt penalty heartbreak by Italy at Wembley.

Harry Kane was unable to lead the Three Lions to redemption and Euros glory this time around – but he will also have the Golden Boot in the back of his mind.

The individual accolade will be awarded after the Euro 2024 final, with the England skipper well in the running to claim it.

What happens if players are tied for Euro 2024 Golden Boot?

Kane and Spain’s Dani Olmo are two of six players who have finished tied on three goals ahead of the Euro 2024 final.

Cody Gakpo of Netherlands, Jamal Musiala of hosts Germany, Georgia’s Georges Mikautadze and Slovakia’s Ivan Schranz are the other stars that are level at the top of the pile.

At the last European Championship, Cristiano Ronaldo won the Golden Boot despite being level on goals with Czech Republic’s Patrick Schick.

The Portuguese legend claimed the award as he had registered an assist along side his five goals at Euro 2020.

But Uefa has confirmed that the policy has changed this year – and all players who finish level with the most goals at the tournament will SHARE the Golden Boot award.
