Meanwhile, in third place according to the official UEFA website on Monday, there was French striker Karim Benzema, who scored four goals in 349 minutes of appearances.

Ronaldo's achievement of the Euro 2020 Golden Shoe was accompanied by his success in sharpening himself as Portugal's top scorer with 109 goals while equaling the international record for most goals by Iranian legend, Ali Daei.

An additional five goals at Euro 2020 also made Ronaldo the most fertile player in the European championship with a total of 14 goals in appearances in five editions.
