Kylian Mbappe has admitted both he and France failed at Euro 2024 after Les Bleus campaign was brought crashing to a halt in the semi-finals by Spain.
France had struggled to live up to their tag as pre-tournament favourites in Germany but still ground their way through to the last four, only to come unstuck in Munich.
Randal Kolo Muani gave them an early lead with Les Bleus first non-penalty goal (excluding own goals) of the tournament, but Lamine Yamal and Dani Olmo netted – the former becoming the youngest goalscorer in World Cup or Euros history – in a quickfire turnaround.
France were unable to force an equaliser in the second half as they lost a major tournament semi-final for the first time since Euro 1996, with Mbappe wasting one good opportunity late…
The Golden Boot at Euro 2024 was shared between six players as both Harry Kane and Dani Olmo missed the chance to claim the award outright in Sunday s final.
Neither Kane nor Olmo were on the scoresheet as Spain edged out England for a deserved 2-1 victory in Berlin, with Mikel Oyarzabal stepping off the bench to net a late winner.
Nico Williams had earlier put Spain ahead with his second goal of the tournament, before England substitute Cole Palmer found the bottom-left corner with a measured 73rd-minute finish.
A number of big names including Kylian Mbappe and Cristiano Ronaldo fell short in Germany, allowing a few outsiders to nab a share of the honours.
Here, we run through the best facts around each of the six joint-victors.

When I pull on the shirt of the national team, it s a huge honour for me and it s a different feeling than it is playing for clubs, Ronaldo told UEFA.com.
It s our country: my family is Portuguese, my friends too. I grew up in Portugal, so it s special to pu…
Alan Pardew was announced as Newcastle manager on a five-and-a-half-year contract on this day in 2010.
The former Reading, West Ham, Charlton and Southampton boss was unveiled as successor to the sacked Chris Hughton, who had overseen the Magpies’ promotion in 2009-10, as furious fans made their feelings heard about his appointment.
At a press conference that day Pardew – not accompanied by Newcastle owner Mike Ashley or managing director Derek Llambias – said: “I know they (the fans) are frustrated, that’s fairly obvious by the reaction.
“I’m not going to say I have kept away from it, I have tried to keep up to date with the frustration.
“They probably thought they had some stability with Chris and that’s gone, and the record of manager…
