England striker Harry Kane wrapped up Euro 2024 in a six-way tie for the Golden Boot as England bowed out to Spain 2-1 in the final. It marks another individual triumph for Kane amidst a notable lack of major trophies.
Kane tied on three goals with Spain's Dani Olmo, Germany's Jamal Musiala, Netherlands' Cody Gakpo, Slovakia's Ivan Schranz, and Georgia's Georges Mikautadze. Despite back-to-back European Championship runner-up finishes and numerous individual honors, Kane's wait for a significant tournament victory continues.
"It's an opportunity missed. It takes incredible resilience and character to reach these finals, but we missed our chance," Kane told ITV. In a memorable defensive effort, Olmo cleared a crucial header to secure Spain's late lead. UEFA allowed the top scorer award to be shared, a first for recent tournaments.
