Cristiano Ronaldo
At the European Championship, defending champions Portugal did not go according to plan. If you believe a statistic, the team is the top favorite of the World Cup.
Because one series shows: Since 2010, the team that has been the top scorer at the previous European championship has always been world champion. And that was with five goals at the EM superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, which has just ended.
The series started at the 2010 World Cup when Spain became world champions in South Africa after David Villa had previously won the top scorer's crown at the European Championship finals.
Before the German World Cup title in Brazil in 2014, Mario Gomez was the top scorer in the EM 2012.
And France won the World Cup in Russia in 2018 after Antoine Griezmann scored the most goals in the 2016 European home championship.
If it goes according to the law of the series, the Portuguese would strike at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
