UEFA EURO 2020 has set a new record for final tournament goals after Mislav Oršić’s strike for Croatia against Spain took the tally to 109 – surpassing the previous best, set in 2016, with ten games still to go.
Most EURO finals goals
2020 112 goals
2016 108 goals
2000 85 goals
Of course, this is only the second tournament to use the expanded 24-team format, but UEFA EURO 2020 is also right up there in terms of goals per game since the group stage was introduced in 1980.
Best goals per game ratio*
2000 2.74 per match
2020 2.73 per match
1984 2.73 per match
*Since group stage introduced
EURO 2020 would need to meet a goal target of 140 to move ahead of EURO 2000 on that metric. The gap could certainly be bridged between now and the final on 11 July.
