France forward Antoine Griezmann moved into fourth on the EURO all-time scoring list following his two goals against Germany in Marseille on Thursday.
Griezmann's semi-final double took him to six for the championship – with Sunday's final against Portugal still to come – meaning he now trails just Cristiano Ronaldo (9), Michel Platini (9) and Alan Shearer (7) on the all-time chart. Only Platini, who scored all his goals in 1984 on home soil, has ever registered more in one tournament than the Atlético Madrid striker.
