Portugal claimed their second UEFA Nations League crown on 8 June 2025 at Munich’s Allianz Arena, edging Spain 5–3 in a dramatic shootout following a thrilling 2–2 draw after extra time . Martín Zubimendi and Mikel Oyarzabal twice gave Spain the lead, only for Nuno Mendes and a 40‑year‑old Cristiano Ronaldo—who scored his 138th international goal—to force parity . In the shootout, goalkeeper Diogo Costa saved Morata's penalty and Rúben Neves delivered the decisive kick . Ronaldo, visibly emotional, described the win as more meaningful than any club achievement. (PC: AP)
