On February 22, 2024, according to CCTV5 program list, the European Cup has come to an end. The Italian team defeated the English team in the penalty shootout and won the Big Ear Cup again after 53 years. In this European Cup, we witnessed many wonderful goals and saw some excellent strikers. So, how is the ranking of European Cup goals determined? Why is the number of goals not the only criterion?

According to the regulations of UEFA, the ranking of the European Cup goal list is first ranked according to the number of goals. If the number of goals is the same, it is judged according to the following order:

• Number of assists;
• Less appearance time;
• The number of goals scored by the team;
• The team has less playing time;
• The team is ranked high.

This rule is to evaluate the performance of the shooter more fairly, and avoid the situation that the score will be brushed only by free throws or opponents in the group match. At the same time, it is also to encourage players to pass the ball more, participate in the attack more and contribute more to the team.

In this European Cup, the top three in the scoring list were Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal, Patrick Hick of the Czech Republic and Karim Benzema of France, who scored five goals. According to the above rules, Ronaldo won the European Cup Golden Boot Award with the advantage of one assist, which is the second European Cup Golden Boot Award in his career, making history. Hick won the Silver Boot Award of the European Cup with less playing time, which is also the best performance in Czech football history. Benzema won the Bronze Boot Award in the European Cup due to his lack of playing time, which is also the best result of his national team career.

The following are the top ten winners of this European Cup for your reference.
