Czech Republic boss Jaroslav Silhavy insists Patrik Schick CAN win the Golden Boot at Euro 2020 as red-hot Bayer Leverkusen star is backed to emulate Milan Baros and scoop top gong

Patrik Schick can emulate Milan Baros and emerge as the Golden Boot winner at Euro 2020, says Czech Republic coach Jaroslav Silhavy.

The Bayer Leverkusen striker has three goals from two matches ahead of Tuesday's Group D decider with England at Wembley.

It was in 2004 that Baros, then of Liverpool, scored five times to take the Czechs to the semi-finals in Portugal, where they were beaten by eventual winners Greece.
