- Euro offered different rules regarding the Golden Boot for different editions. From 1960 till 2004 if there were multiple top scorers, each of them shared the Golden Boot. The very same rule applied for 2024.
- However, from the 2008 to 2020 editions, if there were multiple top scorers, the player with the highest assist would grab the award. In case of the same number of goals and assists, the player who played a lesser number of minutes would receive this prestigious award.
Who won the 2024 Euro Golden Boot? As UEFA eliminated the number of assists and minutes from the equation, all top scorers had to share the award. Indeed, the number of top scorers for the 2024 edition has been 6. They are Harry Kane, Dani Olmo, Cody Gakpo, Jamal Musiala, Georges Mikautadze, and Ivan Schranz.
