Ronaldo, who won his third trophy with Portugal after the 2016 UEFA Euro and the 2021 edition of the Nations League, looked emotional at the end of the final against Spain and embraced Roberto Martinez after the match in celebration while celebrating with the Portugal supporters.

Cristiano Ronaldo, 40, continues to prove the doubters wrong, having recently lifted the UEFA Nations League trophy with Portugal. He has now won the tournament twice, making it three trophies for his country (also Euro 2016).

Portugal pocketed over a billion shillings for winning the 2025 UEFA Nations League. They defeated 2023 champions Spain after the final ended in a 2-2 draw.
