Portugal has won the UEFA Nations League last night on penalties. It was Ronaldo who won it at last in the battle between the 17-year-old and 40-year-old. The young sensation Lamine Yamal who has already won so many trophies in his career was unhappy after the loss. But, the legend Cristiano made a statement that he’ll surely write in his diary. “Lamine is going to win a lot of collective and individual titles. He’s a phenomenon. He’s 17, please leave him alone. He’s going to win a lot of Nations League in his career,” said Cristiano following Nations League’s victory
In a night that will be etched in football history, Portugal claimed the UEFA Nations League crown after a dramatic penalty shootout victory. The final was billed as a clash of generations — 40-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo versus 17-year-old sensation Lamine Yamal — and it lived up to the hype in every way.
After a hard-fought 90 minutes and extra time failed to separate the two sides, it was Ronaldo who stepped up and delivered the decisive penalty, sealing Portugal’s second Nations League title and adding another chapter to his legendary career.
Yamal, who has already achieved so much at such a young age, was visibly heartbroken after the loss. The teen sensation had been instrumental throughout the tournament but couldn’t crown it with a trophy this time.
