Portugal have been crowned UEFA Nations League champions for the second time after a nail-biting penalty shootout victory over Spain in an epic final.
The match ended 2-2 after extra time, with drama and passion coursing through every minute. But it was Portugal who held their nerve from the spot, winning 5-3 in the shootout to lift the trophy, a moment of redemption and glory that sent Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates into jubilation.
Ronaldo, 40, who may have just played his final major tournament, dropped to his knees as the final penalty hit the back of the net, emotion etched on his face. For a player who has seen nearly everything in the game, this moment still meant the world.
