Historic Win Over Germany
Portugal secured their place in the UEFA Nations League final after a thrilling 2-1 comeback victory against Germany at the Allianz Arena in Munich. Despite falling behind in the second half, Portugal rallied with goals from Francisco Conceição and Cristiano Ronaldo, proving their resilience on the big stage.
Germany Strike First Through Florian Wirtz
Germany started the match with confidence, controlling possession and creating early chances. Their breakthrough came in the 48th minute, when Florian Wirtz expertly headed home a Joshua Kimmich cross, giving the hosts a 1-0 lead.
Portugal protested the goal, arguing that Nick Woltemade had obstructed Rúben Dias, but after a VAR review, the referee allowed the goal to stand
Portugal’s Second-Half Comeback
Portugal responded swiftly, with Francisco Conceição making an immediate impact after coming off the bench. The 22-year-old winger curled a stunning shot past Marc-André ter Stegen in the 63rd minute, leveling the score at 1-1.
Just five minutes later, Portugal completed their comeback. Nuno Mendes delivered a precise cross into the box, and Cristiano Ronaldo—showing his legendary goal-scoring instincts—slotted home his 137th international goal, securing a 2-1 victory for Portugal.
Ronaldo’s Timeless Brilliance
At 40 years old, Ronaldo continues to defy expectations, proving that age is just a number. His leadership and ability to deliver in crucial moments remain unmatched, making him a vital asset for Portugal.
With this win, Portugal advances to the Nations League final, where they will face either Spain or France on June 8
Portugal’s Road to the Final
Portugal’s journey to the final has been anything but easy. After losing 1-0 to Denmark in the quarterfinal first leg, they staged a dramatic 5-2 comeback in Lisbon to secure their semifinal spot.
Now, with momentum on their side, Portugal will aim to become the first team to win the UEFA Nations League twice, having previously lifted the trophy in 2019.
