Ronaldo's mixed emotions on the day Portugal won the championship

Ronaldo burst into tears and then smiled brightly when he and his country defeated Spain to win the Nations League championship in the early morning of June 9.

In the fourth penalty shootout, Portuguese fans and players burst into tears when Alvaro Morata missed his penalty. Immediately after, Ruben Neves did not miss the opportunity to score against Spain, thereby bringing Portugal the second Nations League championship.

The moment Unai Simon's net shook, Cristiano Ronaldo collapsed on the field and burst into tears. After 4 years of waiting, the veteran born in 1985 was able to lift another title.

After the tears, Ronaldo's smile returned. Before stepping up to the podium to receive the trophy, the Portuguese captain said something that made his teammates burst into tears. Many fans believe that Ronaldo promised to reward his teammates if they won the Nations League this season.

Ronaldo had a memorable 2024/25 Nations League season. He was the top scorer with 8 goals, including 2 important goals against Germany in the semi-finals and Spain in the final.

After scoring to help Portugal draw 2-2 with Spain, Ronaldo had to leave the field due to injury. The image of the superstar born in 1985 grimacing reminded fans of his own image in the Euro 2016 final, where Portugal defeated France to win the championship.

Ronaldo left the field to the applause of tens of thousands of spectators. This could be the last final match at the national level in the 40-year-old veteran's career.

After captain Ronaldo left the field, his teammates did a good job to bring home the Nations League championship. CR7 and his teammates received the title from Pepe, a living legend of Portuguese football.

Coach Roberto Martinez has enjoyed sweet results after only a short time leading Portugal. He proved that his predecessor Fernando Santos was wrong when he did not put his faith in Ronaldo.
