It was a tough defeat for Cristiano Ronaldo who was hoping to lift the title again as captain, but that dream came to an end after loss against France.

But despite crashing out of the championship, Cristiano Ronaldo is still the leading scorer with five goals and may end up winning the Golden Shoe.

Chance for Harry Kane

Afyer netting against Denmark in the semifinal, Harry Kane is now having 4 goals and will need to score 2 more in the final against Italy for him to win the Golden Boot.

Netting a brace against the former world champions will be hard for Harry Kane, but there is nothing impossible in the game of football.

According to the report on Standard UK, Romelu Lukaku and Karim Benzema whose nations have crashed out both scored 4 goals each before facing exit.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Harry Kane sent England to their first-ever European Championship final with his 104th-minute rebound in their semifinal clash against Denmark.

The goal increased the 27-year-old's tally to four after six appearances at the ongoing Euro 2020 competition.

He is now England's top scorer with Gary Lineker at major tournaments as they both have 10 goals each - one more than Alan Shearer's record.

The Tottenham Hotspur striker's earlier six goals came at the 2018 FIFA World Cup tourney staged in Russia.

Kane could increase his numbers when the Three Lions battle Italy for the continental title at Wembley Stadium this weekend.
