The UEFA Euro 2024 has finally arrived and there’s nothing else the soccer community can talk about right now. From now until July 14, the tournament that takes place in Germany will take all the limelight in the Old Continent.
Fans always make many questions when this kind of sporting event takes place, and perhaps a common one has to do with the biggest result in the European Championship history.
The biggest win in UEFA Euro history so far took place on June 25, 2000, when the Netherlands beat Yugoslavia 6-1 in the quarterfinals. Four games follow that Dutch victory, with also a five-goal margin, but not with six goals scored.

Most goals in a UEFA Euro fixture
The record for most goals in a single UEFA Euro game, however, was set by France and Yugoslavia, who delivered a nine-goal thriller on July 6, 1960 in the semifinals. Yugoslavia came from behind to win that game 5-4 and stun the hosts in Paris.
