Yugoslavia's Milan Galić grabbed the first EURO goal of the inaugural finals in 1960, the first of nine goals in what remains the highest-scoring game in tournament history.
It took 24 years for Alain Giresse to bring up the century but, with the finals continuing to expand, another 24 years later Xavi Hernández was an appropriate (if surprise) scorer of goal number 500. Will someone reach the 900 mark (or even the 1000 mark) at UEFA EURO 2024?
