Portugal, captained by the ever-resilient Cristiano Ronaldo, faced what many deemed an insurmountable task: toppling Spain, the reigning UEFA Nations League holders and newly crowned European champions.

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.
