Vote for the greatest striker since 2000 - quarter-finals

Vote

Goals win matches. Or, so they say anyway.

But who has been the best European striker of the 21st century so far? It's a tough one. In fact, there's only one way to decide - a tournament!

BBC Sport journalists have shortlisted 32 players and they will face off in a knockout competition until you pick the ultimate winner.

To be included on the shortlist, players must have scored at least 20 goals in three seasons and their international pedigree and success has also been taken into account.

The ties were drawn from a hat throughout Thursday 4 June, BBC Sport will ask people to vote for their winners in this page while running a live text commentary to share the results from each round and people's memories of the strikers, using #besteurostriker.

Here's the planned schedule for the day:
