Top 10 tournament goals from Euro 2016: Ronaldo and Robson-Kanu feature

Germany crashed out at the semi-finals thanks to hosts France. Die Mannschaft came into Euro 2016 as one of the favourites to lift the trophy, but struggled due to their lack of deadly marksmen.

In their round of 16 clash against Slovakia, Bayern Munich centre back Boateng volleyed a sweet strike that was part of a 3-0 romp, seeing the Germans through to the quarter-finals.

Antoine Griezmann v Iceland

France were left heartbroken after Portugal ruined their home soil Euros in the final, 12 years after the Navigators had their own party spoilt by Greece.

However, a number of players dazzled viewers with their skill. Griezmann was one of them, the Atletico Madrid man finished the competition as top-scorer with six, double the amount of second place. His delicate chip over Iceland’s keeper Hannes Thor Halldorsson has to be considered one of the goals of the tournament.

Hal Robson-Kanu v Belgium

Chris Coleman’s outfit wrote themselves into the history books with their amazing performances and one of the highlights came against the Red Devils.

Aaron Ramsey chipped a cross into the box, with three Belgian players closing in on him, Robson-Kanu produced a sublime Cruyff-turn leaving them chasing shadows – the free agent tucked it home helped his side reach the semis.

Luka Modric v Turkey

Many backed Croatia to reach the final after receiving a favourable draw, but were stopped in their tracks when faced with eventual winners Portugal in the last 16.

In the Blazers’ first Group D match against Turkey, the Real Madrid man netted a perfectly-executed volleyed effort from a lofted clearance by a Turkish defender.

Cristiano Ronaldo v Hungary

Portugal’s talisman Ronaldo completed his dream of lifting the European Championship with his nation, and kicked every ball as he patrolled the technical box after being stretchered off early in the final.

The Madridsta is a man of many goals, a lot of which are rather special – his flick against Hungary was no different.

Dimitri Payet v Romania

West Ham United’s skillful attacking midfielder excelled in the early games of Euro 2016, and kicked off the tournament with a dramatic, later winner against Romania.

Payet finished the tournament with three goals to his name and was unlucky not to score more.

Marek Hamsik v Russia

Slovakia finished third in Group B and faced Germany in first knockout round – losing 3-0.

However, their star man Hamsik did not disappoint. In their group stage clash with Russia, the Napoli midfielder wrapped his foot around the ball and guided the powerful strike into the top right-hand-corner from a tight angle.

Zoltan Gera v Portugal

The 37-year-old ex-Fulham and West Bromwich Albion man, produced a powerful, daisy-cutting, half-volley from a marvellous piece of chest skill against Portugal.

Gera has 93 caps to his name and now plies his trade with Ferencvaros in Hungary.
