Greece began UEFA EURO 2004 as 80-1 outsiders but caused a global sensation by beating hosts Portugal 1-0 in the Lisbon final on 4 July, Angelos Charisteas connecting with an Angelos Basinas corner to score the only goal. Otto Rehhagel's men kept their discipline in the face of waves of Portuguese attacks at the Estádio da Luz and somehow won throu...
The Czech Republic's Milan Baroš was top scorer at EURO 2004, hitting five goals. The only match he failed to register in was the only one the Czech Republic did not win – their semi-final against Greece.
