Euro 2016: 6 contenders for the golden boot

3) Cristiano Ronaldo

There is no goalscoring contenders list this man would not make. Ronaldo has been a pitcher of consistency for so long it is almost hard to believe. The Portuguese has achieved a lot of success with both Manchester United and Real Madrid.

Ronaldo narrowly missed out on the European Golden Shoe this season to a prolific Luis Suarez after claiming the award in the last couple years But he has been unlucky at the international level.

The closest Ronaldo has come to winning the Euros was in 2004 when Portugal reached the finals but lost to Greece, still considered as one of the biggest shocks in footballing history.

Ronaldo netted 5 times during the qualifying stages. He also finished as joint top scorer in Euro 2012 with 5 other players. Once again Portugal will be looking for inspiration from their talisman. They do not have the toughest of groups but both Austria and Iceland are capable of upsets.
