Spain's Álvaro Morata is the clear leader at the top of the UEFA European Under-19 Championship scoring charts at the end of the competition’s group stage.
The Real Madrid CF forward has struck four times so far, including a hat-trick in Spain's 4-0 defeat of Serbia on Matchday 2. Tomáš Přikryl is the only other player to have scored in more than one game, finding the net against Romania and Greece, while the Republic of Ireland's Anthony O'Connor managed two goals in the opening Group A defeat of Greece. Twenty players have managed one goal, with Spain pair Sergi Gómez and Jonás Ramalho both scoring own goals in their 3-0 defeat by Turkey on Matchday 3.
Morata is also now the joint top scorer this season, his finals tally taking him up to eight goals for the campaign, level with Turkey's Muhammet Demir and one more than Moritz Leitner, whose Germany side were eliminated in the elite round.
