In a thrilling UEFA Nations League final on June 8, 2025, Portugal defeated Spain 5-3 on penalties after a 2-2 draw at Munich’s Allianz Arena. Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal’s talisman, scored the equalizing goal in the 61st minute, his 138th international strike, cementing his record as football’s top international scorer. Despite a late injury forcing him off in the 88th minute, Ronaldo’s passion shone through as he wept tears of joy post-victory, embracing coach Roberto Martinez and teammates. Portugal’s penalty precision, with all five spot kicks converted, outshone Spain, whose Alvaro Morata missed a crucial shot.
Defying underdog status after beating Germany in the semifinals, Portugal’s triumph showcased Ronaldo’s resilience, playing through injury. The anticipated Ronaldo vs. Lamine Yamal duel saw the veteran outshine the young Spaniard, who failed to score. Portugal’s second Nations League title solidified Ronaldo’s legacy.
