Nothing is better than winning for Portugal

The 138th Ronaldo’s goal in the second half of the match led to a 2-2 draw with Spain’s finale ended with penalty series. The 40-year-old striker was planted on the bench for 88 minutes due to an injury and watched from the side as Portugal made all five strokes and finally won the title.

This triumph, after which the winner of the Champions League was casting tears, was the third triumph of C. Ronaldo on the international arena, together with the 2016 European Championship and 2019 UEFA Nations League winners medals, writes reuters.com.

After the match, Ronaldo was happy to have contributed to another historical victory: “What a joy. What is the first time that deserved the title of such scale, for our families. My children, my wife, my brother, my friends, came here.

Winning Portugal is always special. I have a lot of titles with clubs, but nothing is better than winning Portugal. These are tears. It is a duty and a lot of joy. ”

Ronaldo spoke cautiously about his future. He does not plan to participate in the upcoming World Club Championship in the US, although he said he received offers from American clubs. His current team Al-Nasr is considering an extension of the contract, but competition is high.

Still, he is only focused on being able to celebrate his latest triumph because he played trauma in the finals.

« It’s beautiful, » he added. « It is for our nation. We are a small nation, but we have very great ambitions. The future is short -lived. Now is the time to rest well.
