In the early morning of June 9, he scored the equalizer 2-2, setting the stage for Portugal's 5-3 victory in the penalty shootout in the final of the 2024/25 Nations League. This is CR7's third title for the national team, after Euro 2016 and Nations League 2019.
Speaking after the match, the 40-year-old superstar said: "I needed to play and gave my all. I went to my limit and contributed to the team with a goal. I am very happy. If I had to break my leg for the team, I would do it."
Ronaldo also stressed the importance of winning a title with the national team: "I have many titles, but nothing can compare to winning with the national team. The tears and the feeling of accomplishment are beautiful. We are a small nation, but with great ambitions. I have lived in many countries, played for many clubs, but when talking about Portugal, it is a special feeling."

Although Ronaldo was not on the pitch for Portugal's penalty shootout, he stood on the sidelines and expressed his anxiety as he watched his teammate take the shot. Fortunately, the team did not miss any of their shots and won their second Nations League title.
"Winning a title is always the highlight of a national team. My future is also something to think about in the short term. I was injured, and that was too much for me. I had to try very hard, because in the national team, you have to give your all," CR7 concluded.
After this match, Ronaldo will take a summer break. Previously, he confirmed that he would not participate in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.
