    Portugal, Ronaldo Lift Second UEFA Nations League Title With Penalty-shootout Win Vs Spain

    By IANS News June 09, 2025 • 04:04 AM View: 912
    UEFA Nations League: Cristiano Ronaldo broke down into tears as he watched Portugal become the first nation to win the UEFA Nations League twice, edging Spain 5-3 on penalties following a thrilling 2-2 draw in Munich. The Portuguese striker scored his side’s second equaliser before having to go off the field with an injury.

    In a frenetic final, both sides showed attacking intent from the outset. João Neves fired narrowly wide inside five minutes, while Spain responded with near misses from Pedri and Nico Williams. The breakthrough came in the 21st minute when Martin Zubimendi tapped home after Portugal failed to clear Lamine Yamal’s cross.

    Portugal hit back quickly. Nuno Mendes, engaged in a fascinating duel with Yamal, surged past Oscar Mingueza and rifled home his first international goal just five minutes later to restore parity.
