Not many footballers have played at two EUROs; fewer still have scored at more than one of the final tournaments.
We wrestle with the facts and pluck out the vital stats, discovering the only man to have successfully converted free-kicks in two EUROs (clue: he's French); the player who scored all four of his finals goals on the very same date, albeit four years apart (German); and the forward who has hit the net at a record five tournaments (Portuguese, of course).
Who has scored at the most EURO final tournaments?
5 Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal (2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020)
Ronaldo managed two goals at EURO 2004, one in 2008, three apiece in 2012 and 2016, and another five at EURO 2020 to move well clear of seven players who have scored at three EUROs (see the list at the bottom of this article). He is also the only player to have struck three times or more at multiple EUROs.
Same assist/scorer combination at two EUROs
Kevin De Bruyne/Romelu Lukaku, Belgium (1 in 2016, 1 in 2020)
Cesc Fàbregas/David Silva, Spain (1 in 2008, 1 in 2012)
David Silva/Fernando Torres, Spain (1 in 2008, 1 in 2012)
Xavi Hernández/Fernando Torres, Spain (1 in 2008, 1 in 2012)
Nani/Hélder Postiga, Portugal (1 in 2008, 1 in 2012)
Bastian Schweinsteiger/Michael Ballack, Germany (1 in 2004, 1 in 2008)
Dennis Bergkamp/Patrick Kluivert, Netherlands (1 in 1996, 2 in 2000)

All four of Völler's EURO goals came on 17 June.
Longest gap between first and last EURO goals
17 years 15 days, Cristiano Ronaldo
Ronaldo was 19 when he struck in Portugal's opening-day defeat by Greece at EURO 2004; just over 17 years later he found the target against France on Matchday 3 of EURO 2020.
