The highly favoured Spain team with starlet Lamin Yamal was beat to the Nations League title by Portugal lead by Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes by Penalties.
This CR7’s 3rd national title, 2 Nations League and 1 EURO title after a hard fought 2-2 draw after extra time, proved that Portugal did not want to go down without a fight against World beaters Spain who had a better compliment of a team after winning the 2024 Euros. Unfortunately the Spanish starlet Yamal was kept in the pocket by Portuguese left back Nuno Mendes throughout the game.
Cristiano scored the equalising goal in the second half with Alvaro Morata missing the crucial penalty in the shootout. Can you believe Cristiano Ronaldo is 40 years old? Like Lebron James it seems that he’s still got the time and legs to play on for another season at the highest level.
