What an amazing match! Portugal has won the UEFA Nations League after a thrilling penalty shootout against Spain in Munich on Sunday. 🎉
Cristiano Ronaldo lifted the trophy high as “We Are The Champions” echoed around the stadium. 🎶
The game was intense from start to finish! Spain’s Mikel Oyarzabal scored just before halftime, giving Spain a 1-0 lead. But Portugal didn’t give up! Ronaldo, with his incredible 138th international goal, equalized in the 61st minute. ⚽🔥
After 120 minutes, the score was tied 2-2, so it all came down to penalties. Portugal’s goalkeeper, Diogo Costa, made a fantastic save against Alvaro Morata’s penalty. Then, Rúben Neves scored the winning penalty, sealing the victory for Portugal! 🥅🎯
Nuno Mendes was the star of the game. At just 22 years old, he scored a goal, assisted Ronaldo’s equalizer, and even scored in the penalty shootout. He was unstoppable! 🌟
Spain fought hard, but in the end, Portugal came out on top. Even though Spain’s players were disappointed, they promised to keep fighting and come back stronger. 💪
Meanwhile, France secured third place by defeating Germany 2-0, with Kylian Mbappé leading the way. 🇫🇷
