UEFA European Championship

What's the greatest international tournament of all? For many, it's the UEFA European Championship. While it perhaps doesn't carry the same allure of the World Cup, there's no denying that some of football's greatest stories, and its most epic matches, have come in the Euros. 

Ahead of Euro 2024, we set out to chart the history of the tournament through its winners and star performers. Think Rummenigge 1980, Platini 1984, Van Basten 1988 - and, of course, a whole lot more, particularly in the modern era. We explore the wider tournaments, the other teams involved, and what made each edition so special.
