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.
