It's a breakthrough campaign for 'own goal' at the EURO 2024 after scoring more goals than Cristiano Ronaldo, Harry Kane, Alvaro Morata and more superstars.
The breakout star of EURO 2024 so far isn't any of the usual big-name forwards - it's Own Goal, and he's been putting the likes of Harry Kane, Robert Lewandowski and Cristiano Ronaldo to shame.
While the top international strikers have been struggling to find the back of the net, Own Goal has been running riot, already racking up an incredible six goals in just two matches at the European Championship.

Own Goal tops Ronaldo, Kane, and others
The latest show of shame was a no-look one in the game between Ronaldo's Portugal and Turkiye in Group F on Saturday afternoon.
With former champions Portugal leading 1-0 thanks to a Bernardo Silva strike, a bizarre lack of communication between Samet Akaydin and his goalkeeper Altay Bayindir produced the most shocking own goal yet to double the lead
)
That tally puts Own Goal ahead of the competition's more celebrated names, with England captain Kane, Poland legend Lewandowski, and Portugal superstar Ronaldo all languishing behind the surprise sensation.
Own Goal's impressive haul also leaves him ahead of other star forwards like Germany's Kai Havertz and Spain's Alvaro Morata, cementing its status as the tournament's shock new superstar.
)
With the final round of group games set to kick off on Sunday night, Own Goal remains the top scorer so far, ahead of Germany's Jamal Musiala, Slovakia's Ivan Schranz and Georgia's Georges Mikautadze, who all have two goals each.
But the unheralded Own Goal has captured the imagination of football fans across the continent with its remarkable exploits, leaving the game's biggest names trailing in his wake.
)
Whether it can maintain this stunning purple patch and clinch the coveted golden boot remains to be seen.
But for now, Own Goal is undoubtedly the name on everyone's lips at EURO 2024.
