Spanish striker David Villa may not have played in the UEFA EURO 2008 final but he still finished up as leading scorer in the tournament with four goals.
The Valencia marksman -- who was injured and unable to play in the 1-0 win over Germany in the final on Sunday -- opened his account with a hat-trick in the 4-1 win over Russia in the group stage and added another against Sweden, also in the first round.
The overall record is held by French football legend Michel Platini, now president of UEFA, with nine in the 1984 edition which France won.
