Euro 2022: Eight Euros records that might never be broken, featuring Ronaldo

The World Cup might be the pinnacle of the football calendar, but the Euros can be just as entertaining.

The tournament has produced a number of iconic moments – who can forget Mario Balotelli’s celebration against Germany in 2012 – and is widely anticipated by football fans around Europe.

Euro 2022 has been no different. England and Germany are the two teams left in the competition, with Sunday’s match at Wembley a repeat of the Euro 2009 final.

Germany thrashed England 6-2 back then, earning one of a record eight European titles. But England have been setting their own records during Euro 2022, some of which look set to remain in the history books for some time.

As such, GiveMeSport Women have selected eight incredible records set at the Euros that may well never be broken, across both the men and women’s tournaments.

Germany lead the way with the most wins at the Euros, in both the men and women’s tournaments.

The women’s side has racked up 36 victories, which is unsurprising given they have won the Euros a record eight times.

Germany’s dominance in Europe has diminished in recent years, but it seems unlikely another country could catch up with their winning rate anytime soon.

For reference, the German men’s team has won 27 matches at the tournament.

Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo has played the most minutes at the Euros – a whopping 2,153.

He has also featured at the most tournaments, playing at Euro 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016 and 2020.

Will we ever see a player more present at the European Championship than Ronaldo?

Germany and Norway have played against each other in the final of the Women’s Euros a remarkable four times.

The two sides competed for European glory in 1989, 1991,
