A fifth of Euro 2020 (10 games played out of 51) is enough to highlight a trend. Let’s talk about goals, the first 24 of the tournament, and from which leagues the players who scored them come from. The figure is already full-bodied: almost two-thirds of the total loot bear the signature of those who played in the German Bundesliga (8) and in our Serie A (7) last season. With the Italian championship that even surpasses if you count the goals on the contrary, they work in spite of two Juventus players: the Turkish Demiral against the Azzurri, the Polish goalkeeper Szczesny in favor of Slovakia.
The Italian series was opened in the opening match by true Italians, from Campania such as Ciro Immobile and Lorenzo Insigne. Then, Inter Milan Romelu Lukaku continued with a brace for Belgium against Russia and Goran Pandev from Genoa for the rookie North Macedonia in the 1-3 scored by Austria. The last two highs of our foreigners were those of Monday of the Turin player Linetty (useless, in Poland-Slovakia 1-2) and of the other Inter player Skriniar (decisive for the Slovaks in the same match). Inter fresh from the Scudetto lead the ranking of clubs with the most goals: 3, ahead of Bayer Leverkusen of Czech Schick (double against Scotland) and Borussia Moenchengladbach of Swiss Embolo (scoring in 1-1 with Wales) and of Austrian Lainer.

Net of goals and own goals scored by Serie A and Bundesliga, the rest of the world for now really remains the crumbs with Spanish Liga and French Ligue 1 even still dry. England emerges with three goals from the Premier (Sterling, Yarmolenko and Wijnaldum) and one from his B (Moore, Welshman from Cardiff). Then, only three scattered high notes: Dumfries, Dutch from PSV; Yaremchuk, a Ukrainian from the Belgian Gent, and Arnautovic, an Austrian from the Chinese Shanghai. Who, coincidentally, has already played in Serie A (very little, for Inter) and is about to return (to Bologna).
