🍾 Champagne Meter
WC & Euro champions and their champagne score before the tournament
Gullit, Van Basten and Koeman played for champions. The Soviet Union played in Soviet clubs — no Western titles. Final score: 2-0.
Three Euro wins in sixteen years. Always more bottles than the opponent. But in 1998–2002 Spain had more bottles than anyone — and never reached the final.
Ronaldo, Figo, Deco — the most loaded team in the tournament (22 🍾). Greece won with organisation and tactics, not star-club glamour.
Brazil (14 🍾) fell in the quarter-final. Netherlands (14 🍾) and Germany (14 🍾) made the semi-finals. Spain won the title with just 8 🍾 — sixth on the bottle table.
The nation with the most champagne bottles won only 2 of 19 tournaments (10%). Spain led in 1998, 2000, 2002, 2018 and 2021 — and never won. Brazil entered 2022 with 23 🍾 and fell in the quarter-finals. France had more bottles than Spain in 2024 (22 vs 21) — yet Spain won.
From 1988 to 2012, the Netherlands ranked in the top 3 by champagne bottles in 8 of 13 tournaments. Only the first one (Euro 1988) turned into a title. In 1990, 1992, 1994, 1996, 1998 and 2010: more bottles than the eventual winner — but no championship.
