Heartbreak, drama, fine goals, controversy and unity in adversity – this summer’s delayed European Championship will live long in the memory. UEFA kept with the official title of Euro 2020 despite the delay and things had not changed vastly when the competition belatedly got under way across 11 countries last month. Wales were the surprise package that onlookers fell in love with during their run to the Euro 2016 semi-finals, but the Danes took that role this time around. They were among a number of depressing moments during a tournament that saw 142 goals scored across 51 games played over 31 days. The 36-year-old’s five-goal haul in the so-called group of death saw him move clear of Michel Platini – the brains behind this cross-continental competition – as the top goalscorer in Euro finals history.
