Best Serial Goal-Scorer (including qualification): Harry Kane
Harry Kane holds the record in the European Championships for the longest streak with goal-scoring taking into account both qualifying and final stages. He has scored 8 goals in a row during the Euro 2020 qualifying stage. His streak is not over yet and can be continued in the final part of the tournament (11 June - 11 July).
The same applies to Cristiano Ronaldo, who has scored in all of the last 6 matches of the same qualifying stage. It will be interesting to watch their rivalry with Kane in this category.
The longest series in the history of the competition are in the table. In some cases, players missed one of several matches of their team during their streak (for example, Papin - he missed 2 matches).
