Cristiano Ronaldo will face one of his most formidable opponents on June 8, Spain facing Portugal in the final of the League of UEFA Nations.

Ronaldo scored the victorious goal of Portugal in the semi-finals against Germany in the middle of the week, allowing Spain to win 5-4 against France.

The two games were very contrasting: Ronaldo, 40, was once again the hero of Portugal and Lamine Yamal, 17, scored a double for Spain.

The two players will compete in the final and the Spanish number 1, Unai Simon, said that Ronaldo was an example of sustainable excellence.

“” This is an example of hard work, which has sacrificed a lot in his life for football. I don't see myself in the Cristiano level at 40. It is a privilege and an honor to meet him “, According to Marca.

“I am very happy to see him continue to score. I hope he will reach the thousand goals in the official match, but I hope obviously that he will not score a single Sunday. »»

How many goals Cristiano Ronaldo scored?

His goal at close range against Germany brings him his total to 137 international goals in 220 selections, and his 937th goal all matches, in club and selection.

The Al Nassr striker has an excellent international assessment and remains focused on his goal of the 1,000 goals.

Al Nassr is in talks to extend his contract beyond this summer-despite his impatience to leave-and potentially join a club participating in the FIFA club World Cup, in order to strengthen his statistics.

There is also no sign of imminent retirement, the former Real Madrid superstar being determined to lead Portugal to the 2026 World Cup.
