Cristiano Ronaldo may have broken Michel Platini's long-standing record in 2021 to become the all-time top scorer in the European Championships, and his incredible consistency over 5 tournaments has to be applauded and admired, but it's still Platini's incredible haul of 9 goals in just one tournament that is the stand out figure for us.
