Euro 2020: Record goalscorer, Golden Boot winner - How good was Cristiano Ronaldo?

The month-long Euro 2020 euphoria ended on Sunday night with Italy beating England 3-2 on penalties (1-1 after extra time) in the final of the tournament at the Wembley Stadium, London to win their second European championship.

Although Italy finished the tournament as champions, it was Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo who bagged the Golden Boot award.

Despite Portugal crashing out of the tournament in the round of 16 after losing to Belgium 1-0, the 36-year-old netted five goals in four matches to win the highest scorer's award. Czech Republic's Patrik Schick also had the same number of goals in his kitty but as Ronaldo had more assists to his name, he was given the award.
