Portugal's Rodrigo Monteiro set a new record for goals at a UEFA Under-19 Futsal EURO final tournament, ultimately ending his team's triumphant campaign on seven strikes.
In all three previous editions, the top scorer had ended on five. But Rodrigo Monteiro sailed past that with hat-tricks in Portugal's wins against Ukraine and Moldova after scoring on Matchday 1 against Italy. Although he did not add to his tally in the knockout phase as Portugal retained their title, he ended two clear of his nearest rivals, Spain's Pablo Guti and Daniel Martínez Ruano (who registered in the showpiece).
Rodrigo Monteiro told UEFA: "It means a lot but the guys that I play with, they are fantastic, they put in balls and then I just do my job"
Having also struck in qualifying, Rodrigo Monteiro ended two goals shy of equalling the record of ten for an entire edition, set in 2023 by Kosovo's Blend Krasniqi. While Rodrigo Monteiro's haul of seven career finals goals is unmatched, he stands four behind compatriot Lúcio Rocha – top scorer in the 2023 finals – for goals including qualifying.
