Cristiano Ronaldo is the leading goalscorer at the European Championship going into the knockout phase of the competition.

Portugal finished third in Group F, with their star man Ronaldo scoring five goals against Hungary, Germany and France.

One stumbling block could be his pay packet. Ronaldo earns £540,000 per week at the Allianz Stadium, according to The Sun.

Only Lionel Messi, who reportedly pockets £584,000 per week, is paid more in world football - and Messi may have to settle for a wage cut if he signs a new deal with Barcelona.

According to Italian outlet La Gazzetta dello Sport, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner earns four times more than the next best-paid player in Serie A.

Matthijs de Ligt, Ronaldo's team-mate at Juventus is second on the list with weekly earnings of £138,000.
