The awards are conferred on the players who scored the most goals in the tournament. The top three in the ranking were Cristiano Ronaldo, Patrik Schick, and Karim Benzema.
The digital versions on the blockchain will accompany the physical trophies as part of UEFA’s collaboration with payments company Alipay.
