A new trophy for Ronaldo with Portugal!

Euro 2016, League of Nations 2019 and now 2025 Nations League: at 40, Cristiano Ronaldo continues to enrich his record with Portugal and write his legend! Sunday evening, at the Allianz Arena in Munich, “CR7” was still decisive against Spain, beaten in the final by the Seleçao at the end of the suspense (2-2, 5-3 TAB).

If he did not participate in the penalty shootout, Gonçalo Ramos having replaced him at the end of regulation time (86^e), the five -time golden ball weighed in this match. It was indeed he who allowed the players of Roberto Martinez to equalize shortly after the time of play (2-2, 61^e), while the Roja seemed to have gotten their hands on the meeting.

Cristiano Ronaldo still saves Portugal

If Nuno Mendes (26^e) had quickly responded to the opening of Martin Zubimendi's score (21^e), Mikel Oyarzabal had given the Lamine Yamal teammates on the right rails before the break (45^e). But as facing the French team three days earlier (5-4), the Spaniards were fragile defensively and Cristiano Ronaldo, already goalscorer in the semi-finals against Germany (2-1), took advantage of it.

It was then necessary to wait for Diogo Costa to stop the shot from Alvaro Morata, the fourth to try his luck with the reigning European champions, for this final of the League of Nations to rock in favor of Portugal. A new title which, one year from the 2026 World Cup, will undoubtedly give ideas to the partners of the Lord “CR7”.
