Ronaldo’s Magic Seals Portugal’s Comeback Win Over Germany
What a game it was between Germany and Portugal in the UEFA Nations League semi-final! If you’re wondering where to catch this thriller or simply looking for the highlights, this clash had everything—from drama, weather delays, and history made, to Ronaldo proving yet again why he's still at the top.
Kickoff was delayed due to a storm in Munich, but once the ball was rolling at the Allianz Arena, it didn’t take long for the tension to build. Germany came into this match with confidence, and it showed. Early in the second half, Florian Wirtz, who’s been turning heads across Europe, headed in a fantastic goal in the 48th minute. Joshua Kimmich, celebrating his 100th cap, delivered a beautiful lofted pass, and Wirtz made no mistake. At that point, it looked like Germany might control the game.
But Portugal had other plans. With Roberto Martínez orchestrating things from the sidelines, his substitutes made an instant impact. Francisco Conceição came on and within five minutes produced a dazzling equalizer. He darted in from the right, beat a defender, and curled one beautifully past Marc-André ter Stegen. It was one of those moments you just had to see to believe.

Then came Cristiano Ronaldo—yes, still doing it at 40 years old. In his 220th international appearance, he tapped in Nuno Mendes’ low cross in the 68th minute, scoring his 137th international goal. The stadium erupted. It wasn’t just a goal; it was the goal. The one that sent Portugal into Sunday’s final against either France or Spain.
Germany tried to fight back. Adeyemi hit the post. Ter Stegen made some world-class saves to keep them in the game. But Portugal’s control in the second half was undeniable—13 shots to Germany’s two. That tells the whole story. Even with the clock ticking down and Germany pushing everyone forward, including their keeper considering a last-minute corner, Portugal held firm.
The last few minutes were chaotic, full of yellow cards and frantic play, but when the final whistle blew, it was Portugal standing tall with a 2-1 win.
So, if you missed it, make sure to catch the replays or highlights—this was not just a match, it was a football moment. Portugal are headed to the final in Munich, and if Ronaldo keeps writing scripts like this, we’re all just lucky to be watching.
