Exiled to Saudi Arabia since the 2022 World Cup and perhaps at the dawn of a signature in a new club at 40, Cristiano Ronaldo was obviously wanted to shine in the Final Four of the League of Nations. Always the star captain of the Portuguese team, “CR7” gave victory to the Seleçao on Wednesday against Germany, on a service of Nuno Mendes, in the semi-final of the competition.
Ronaldo was obviously the final of the final against Spain of Lamine Yamal, a new phenomenon of the round ball. Harly supported by his fans present in Munich, the former star player of Real Madrid again made the nets tremble. The winners of Euro 2024 led twice, thanks to Martin Zubimendi (21st) then Mikel Oyarzabal before half-time (45th).
Nuno Mendes, decidedly in great shape after his coronation in the Champions League with PSG, first equalized with a huge cross shot (26th). Then at the time of play, the left side made a center which allowed Ronaldo to equalize a second time (61st). The five -time Ballon d'Or gave way to Gonçalo Ramos in the 88th minute and the match continued on overtime.
Ronaldo, always more
Ronaldo always improves his statistics. The top scorer in the history of the number 1 sport is 938 career goals (professional). And it is not ready to stop, since it could extend for two years in Al-Nassr or sign in another club, probably for the same duration of contract. Ronaldo hopes to come in great shape at the 2026 World Cup in North America.
Cristiano Ronaldo is even the only European player in history to have scored three goals at the age of 40 in the national team, as indicated by the X account Stats Foot.
