Football News: Euro 2024, Champions League, and More
Major international football tournaments have often provided the stage for record-breaking victories, and the UEFA European Championship is no exception. From group stage routs to knockout annihilations, we take a look at the biggest wins in the history of the prestigious European Championship.
The Biggest Wins in Euro History
The largest ever winning margin at the Euros is five goals, and it has happened on five occasions. France were the first to post such a thrashing in the tournament, beating neighbors Belgium 5-0 in the group stage of Euro 1984 – which they hosted and won. Remarkably, that same day, Denmark demolished Yugoslavia by the same scoreline.
It would be 16 years until such a disparity was seen at the Euros, when the Netherlands became the first team in the history of the competition to find the net six times in a single match – battering FR Yugoslavia 6-1 in the quarter-finals of Euro 2000. Sweden were next, beginning Euro 2004 with a bang by beating Bulgaria 5-0. Most recently, Spain became the fifth side to win by five goals on Europe’s premier international stage, defeating Slovakia 5-0 in the group stage of Euro 2020.
“As the highly anticipated Euro 2024 tournament in Germany rapidly approaches, football fans around the world are eager to see if any new records will be set. With the competition heating up, the stage is set for more thrilling encounters and potential goal-scoring feats.”
