In an unforgettable football night at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, Portugal clinched the 2025 UEFA Nations League title after a dramatic penalty shootout win over Spain, triumphing 5–3 following a 2–2 draw in regular and extra time.

The final was electric from the start. Spain’s Martín Zubimendi opened the scoring in the 21st minute, but Nuno Mendes responded quickly for Portugal just five minutes later. As the first half neared its end, Mikel Oyarzabal restored Spain’s lead in the 45th minute, only for the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo to level once again with a stunning goal in the 61st—bringing his international tally to 138 goals.

Despite a late injury that forced Ronaldo off in the 88th minute, Portugal held firm through extra time. In the penalty shootout, all Portuguese players converted their kicks, while Álvaro Morata missed the decisive shot for Spain.

This victory marks Portugal’s second UEFA Nations League title, the first being in 2019. It also adds another glittering chapter to the legacy of Ronaldo, proving once more that he remains a force on the biggest stage—even at the age of 40.

A night to remember for “Europe’s Brazil,” whose fans erupted in celebration as their team reclaimed continental glory.
