Portugal triumphed over Spain in the 2024-25 UEFA Nations League final, concluding a tight match that ended in a 2-2 draw and was ultimately decided by penalties. Following a semifinal victory against Germany earlier in the week, Portugal made history as the first team to win two UEFA Nations League titles since the competition’s inception. Spanish striker Alvaro Morata missed a critical penalty, paving the way for Portuguese midfielder Ruben Neves to secure the victory with a successful shot, finishing the shootout 5-3.
Despite being substituted before the shootout, Cristiano Ronaldo managed to score one of Portugal’s two regulation goals, marking his impressive 938th career goal across all competitions. After a swift rebound from an initial deficit, Portugal’s tenacity was evident as Nuno Mendes equalized and Ronaldo later leveled the score to seal the match.
Ultimately, Ronaldo celebrated alongside his teammates and the ecstatic Portuguese fans, reflecting on a triumphant night for football in Portugal.
