Golden boot and trophy

I looked through and it happens more often than it doesn't. Although the early tournaments only having 2 matches each meant lots of players shared the Golden Boot.

But outright Golden Boot winners still happen

1972 - Gerd Muller - West Germany 

1980 - Klaus Allofs - West Germany 

1984 - France- Michel Platini

1988 - Netherlands- Marco van Basten 

2008 - Spain - David Villa

And there's been 6 players who've won the tournament and been joint top scorer too.

It's actually more unusual from the topscorer to be from a side who hasn't won.

I think you're probably thinking of the World Cup, where the Golden Boot winner often doesn't come from the tournament winner.
