UEFA Euro 1984 was hosted by France and is remembered as one of the most entertaining tournaments in European football history. The French national team, led by the brilliant Michel Platini, played attacking, creative football that captivated fans across the continent. Platini scored an incredible 9 goals in just 5 matches, a record for a single European Championship that still stands today and remains one of the iconic achievements in the history of the competition.

The tournament was marked by packed stadiums, dramatic matches and a fast, technical style of play. One of the highlights was France’s unforgettable semi-final victory over Portugal, often cited as one of the greatest Euro games ever played. In the final, France defeated Spain to claim their first major international trophy. Euro 1984 not only established France as a new powerhouse in European football, but also set a standard for exciting, attack-minded football on the big stage.
