After the Qatar 2022 World Cup, the UEFA Euro 2024 is delivering tons of excitement to millions of fans. Most of the attention floats around who will be the top scorer of the tournament. Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham or maybe Cristiano Ronaldo were favorites to win the award, but, none of that has happened.

It’s important to remember that we had an amazing party of goals during the group stage with only one match finishing 0-0. That game was between France and the Netherlands at Leipzig. Just incredible.

However, the biggest ‘star’ in the tournament has been undoubtedly the own goal. It happened again in the quarterfinals between the Netherlands and Turkey at Berlin.
