Cristiano Ronaldo on course to win Euro 2020 Golden Boot despite being out as Patrik Schick’s Czech Republic lose
CRISTIANO RONALDO is on course to win the Euro 2020 Golden Boot, despite his side being eliminated in the Round of 16.
The Portugal star bagged five goals in just four games for his nation, before crashing out at the hands of Belgium.
He also grabbed what could be a crucial assist against Germany, dinking over Manuel Neuer to set up the grateful Diogo Jota.
Ronaldo's nearest challenger is Patrik Schick, who has also scored five goals.
But with the Czech Republic losing 2-1 to Denmark today, Schick now can't catch Ronaldo.
Despite both having scored five apiece, Ronaldo is ahead because of his assist, with Schick not registering any during the tournament.
The next top-scorers are Emil Forsberg, Romelu Lukaku and Karim Benzema with four apiece.
But all three are out of the competition.
Ronaldo's nearest challengers still in the tournament are Raheem Sterling, Harry Kane and Kasper Dolberg, who have both scored three times.
Sterling, 26, netted goals for England against Croatia, the Czech Republic and Germany.
