Harry Kane WINS Euro 2024 Golden Boot… but.....

BERLIN, Germany

HARRY KANE has won the Golden Boot at Euro 2024 - but he will have to share the award with five other players.

The England captain finished the tournament with three goals and missed out on a chance to win the Golden Boot outright by failing to score in the final.

Kane scored a penalty in the semi-final against Netherlands to take his tally to three goals.

That put him level with Dutchman Cody Gakpo, his Bayern Munich team-mate Jamal Musiala, Slovakian Ivan Schranz, Georges Mikautadze of Georgia and Euros winner Dani Olmo,

And thanks to a change in the rules all five players will share the Golden Boot.

Previously the winner has been decided on assists or minutes played if two or more players are tied for goals.

Cristiano Ronaldo won the award at Euro 2020 after recording one more assist that Patrick Schick, with the strikers both finding the net five times.

And at Euro 2012 Fernando Torres beat Mario Gomez and Alan Dzagoev to the Golden Boot as he played the fewest minutes - with each having a three-goal haul.

Kane, 30, has now won the Golden Boot at the World Cup and the Euros - becoming the first Englishman to do so.

He is just the second English player behind Alan Shearer to win the Golden Boot at the Euros, with the Newcastle legend picking up the award after scoring five goals at Euro 96.
