Schick's stunner against Scotland voted Euro 2020 Goal of the Tournament
The Bayer Leverkusen forward scored twice in the 2-0 win at Hampden Park on matchday one in the group stage, the second of those goals from just inside the Scotland half.
The goal was measured at 49.7 yards, making it the furthest distance a goal has been scored at the European Championship since such data was first recorded in 1980.
Schick spotted opposition goalkeeper David Marshall off his line and left the back-pedalling Scotsman red-faced to overtake Torsten Frings’ previous record of 38.6 yards for Germany against the Netherlands at Euro 2004.

Speaking after the match on June 14, Schick confirmed he had spotted Marshall off his line earlier in the contest and decided to have a go from range.
“I knew he liked to stay very high, so when the ball came, I quickly checked where he was standing, and it was a nice goal,” he told BBC Sport.
