It is over 60 years since Yugoslavia’s Milan Galić grabbed the first EURO goal of the inaugural finals, the first of nine goals in what remains the highest-scoring game in tournament history.
It took 24 years for Alain Giresse to bring up the century but, with the finals continuing to expand, another 24 years later Xavi Hernández was an appropriate (if surprise) scorer of goal number 500. The running total was up to 600 by 2016 and hit 800 in the UEFA EURO 2020 round of 16 when Switzerland’s Haris Seferović opened the scoring against France.
