Patrik Schick scored a record-setting goal, and Luka Modric's stunner in the group stage versus Scotland will also be remembered as one of the finest in Euro 2020. But sometimes, goal celebrations become bigger talking points. And this European Championship hasn't been any different.

We've compiled some for you:

Attila Fiola vs France

Hungary's Attila Fiola scored the first goal of the group stage match versus France, and then followed it up with a passionate celebration. And why not? Putting the world champions on the backfoot is no mean feat. During his celebration, he went to the media section and almost smashed the table of a reporter.

Matteo Pessina vs Austria

Matteo Pessina's goal-scoring celebration diving face-first on the turf with his arms nearly flat by his side has become quite a sensation in Italy. Rightfully so. The 24-year-old midfielder, who only joined his national team for the European Championship after another player was injured, scored what turned out to be the winning goal in extra time against Austria in the round of 16.

Paul Pogba vs Switzerland

Pogba scored a stunner versus Switzerland, which was the third goal of the match for the 2018 World Cup champions. Soon after, the midfielder was seen taking Twitter by storm with his dance moves. Surprisingly, both his moves and the goal grabbed sufficient attention.
