Dani Olmo, Harry Kane, and Jamal Musiala emerged as the top goal scorers in the UEFA Euro 2024 tournament, each sharing the prestigious Golden Boot award. This achievement highlights their exceptional skill and talent on the field, solidifying their status as elite footballers in the global sports arena.
Dani Olmo, a Spanish midfielder known for his technical ability and creativity on the ball, showcased his scoring prowess throughout the tournament. His precise finishing and intelligent movement off the ball made him a constant threat to opposing defenses. Olmo's contributions were instrumental in Spain's success in reaching the final stages of Euro 2024.
For a clear winner to take the prize, Olmo and/or Kane needed to score in the final, which neither did, as Spain beat England 2-1 in Berlin.
Cody Gakpo (Netherlands), Ivan Schranz (Slovakia) and Georges Mikautadze (Georgia) finished on the same three-goal tally.
The character also resembles the fleeting moment of a barefooted striker poised to shoot, evoking the original beauty and power of football – a game that unit people across the world with passion, ambition, and solidarity. The base of the trophy resembles the ocean, consisting of 24 undulating pieces each inscribed with the names of the participating countries, while the design symbolizes the 24 teams braving the waves at the competition. The ocean also connects continents, which represents how football connects communities across the world similar to Alipay+ connecting global commerce.
Alipay+ has now enabled over 400,000 merchants in Europe, with over 120,000 in the DACH region alone. Among the 15 Alipay+ mobile partners in Germany are Alipay (Chinese mainland), AlipayHK (Hong Kong SAR, China), MPay (Macao SAR, China), Touch ’n Go eWallet and MyPB by Public Bank Berhad (Malaysia), Hipay (Mongolia), GCash (The Philippines), OCBC Digital and Changi Pay (Singapore), TrueMoney (Thailand), Tinaba (Italy), Bluecode (Germany and Austria) and Kakao Pay, Naver Pay and Toss Pay (South Korea).
Under the old system, Olmo would have won the tiebreaker with two assists, the most among the players tied on three goals.
The last time that three goals proved enough to win the Golden Boot was at Euro 2012, when Spain’s Fernando Torres took the prize. At the time, the tiebreaker was which player had played the fewest minutes. If that had applied at Euro 2024, the award would have gone to Slovakia’s Schranz.
Gerd Müller (four goals, 1972, West Germany), Dieter Müller (four goals, 1978, West Germany) and Klaus Allofs (three goals, West Germany, 1980) are the previous Bundesliga-based players to win the Golden Boot outright.
Mario Gomez and Mario Mandžukić (both 2012) and Patrik Schick (2020) were among the joint top scorers in past editions, but lost out on the prize on tie-breakers.
