Cristiano Ronaldo Leads Portugal to UEFA Nations League Final with Comeback Victory Against Germany

Cristiano Ronaldo's pivotal goal in the second half secures Portugal's place in the UEFA Nations League final, defeating Germany for the first time in 25 years.

Who else but Cristiano Ronaldo to push Portugal to a 2-1 victory over Germany and into the UEFA Nations League final? Ronaldo’s goal in the 68th minute was crucial in leading Portugal to the win, ending Germany’s unbeaten streak of seven matches. The goal gives Ronaldo six goals in his last ten matches for Portugal, following a quick two-goal turnaround initiated by Francisco Conceicao.

The first half saw Germany dominate but fail to convert their efforts into goals. The introduction of Conceicao proved pivotal in the second half, where Portugal took control, registering 13 shots compared to Germany’s solitary goal from Florian Wirtz.

Portugal’s Victory
Sources confirm this marks Portugal’s first victory against Germany since 2000.

As they head into the final, Portugal aims to secure their first major title since 2019, facing the winner of France and Spain.
