Ronaldo is the reigning "Top scorer" of Euro with 5 goals, although Portugal could not get past the round of 16 in the 2021 season. Although he has not scored in the opening day of Euro 2024, Ronaldo has fired 5 shots, 3 of which were on target. At the age of nearly 40, Ronaldo still shows a strong desire to win and inspires his teammates. However, limitations in physical strength, the ability to accelerate past people, shoot from a distance or compete for the ball in the air have prevented CR7 from scoring.

Harry Kane won the FIFA World Cup 2018 Golden Boot. The striker has just had an explosive season for Bayern Munich, scoring 44 goals in 45 matches in all competitions. For the Three Lions, Kane has scored 63 goals in 91 appearances in all competitions, making him the best goalscorer in history. In the last three major tournaments, the 2018 World Cup, Euro 2020 and the 2022 World Cup, the striker born in 1993 has scored a total of 12 goals.
In the opening match of the Euro group stage, the former Tottenham striker disappointed although England still won 1-0 against Serbia. Playing the full 90 minutes, Kane was quite lackluster in the role of a striker. At the age of 31, Harry Kane no longer has the flexibility and sharpness to score goals. In the context of many young talents appearing at Euro 2024, Kane will find it difficult to maintain his scoring efficiency and compete for the title of "Top scorer".
Unlike his two seniors, Mbappe had an impressive performance in France's victory over Austria. The 25-year-old superstar continued to be the leader of Les Bleus' attack thanks to his skillful individual technique, dribbling and dangerous finishing. Unlike the previous Euro, Mbappe no longer has a tendency to play individually, gradually learning to coordinate with his teammates to increase the attacking efficiency of the French team.
Although France did not have a convincing victory in the first round of the Euro 2024 group stage, Mbappe's enthusiasm and ability to make a difference helped him get the highest score in the match. The goal that France scored against Austria was largely thanks to Mbappe, he dribbled the ball skillfully past the opposing defender on the right wing, before making a dangerous cross into the 5m50 box, causing center-back Maximilian Wober to head the ball into his own net.
Finally, Lukaku was the most disappointing striker in the first match. While Portugal, England and France all won, Lukaku's lack of luck and missed many "delicious" chances in attack were the reason why Belgium had to accept defeat against Slovakia. This poor performance could cause Lukaku to lose his official place in the second match of the group stage.
Previously, despite being nicknamed "wooden leg", Lukaku was still an important pillar of the Belgian team, contributing 14 goals in 8 matches and leading the scoring list in this Euro qualifier.
