Euro 2024 top scorers: Kai Havertz and Jude Bellingham lead early Golden Boot race
Germany’s attacking stars wasted little time in immediately making it clear that they will be heavily involved in the Golden Boot race at Euro 2024.
The hosts cruised to a 5-1 win over Scotland in the opening match of the tournament, with Florian Wirtz, Jamal Musiala and Kai Havertz all on target inside 45 minutes. Niclas Fullkrug came off the bench and got himself on the scoresheet too, on a perfect night for Germany.
Switzerland full-back Michel Aebischer joined Havertz at the top of the table after one goal and an assist of his own in a 3-1 win over Hungary, with Fabian Ruiz involved in two goals himself in Spain’s routine victory over Croatia.
Harry Kane did not get up and running in England’s win over Serbia, with Jude Bellingham the man on the scoresheet for the Three Lions.
Kylian Mbappe won the Golden Boot at the World Cup in Qatar in 2022 and remains the favourite to pick up the award again this summer, but remains without a single goal at the European Championship in his career. He did force the decisive first-half own goal in France’s opening win over Austria in Group D before suffering a gruesome broken nose late on in the match.
Romelu Lukaku will fancy his chances of regularly finding the scoresheet during the group stage, but had two goals disallowed as Belgium were stunned by Slovakia. Cristiano Ronaldo is looking to score in his sixth European Championship for Portugal, meanwhile, beginning against the Czech Republic on Tuesday night.
