David Villa: one goal per game

As we said, David Villa has secured the title of top scorer at Euro 2008 without having played in the final.

But that is the fewest goals for a European Championship top scorer since 1992, when Dennis Bergkamp, Tomas Brolin, Henrik Larsen and Karl-Heinz Riedle all scored three goals.
