Ronaldo Says He Played and Scored with Injury to Help Portugal Win Nations League Final
Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo revealed he played the UEFA Nations League final with an injury. After helping Portugal secure a win over Spain on Sunday, the 40-year-old said he felt the injury during the warm-up but decided to push through because the match was too important to miss.
Speaking to reporters, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner said he would have played even with a broken leg for his country. “I had been feeling it for some time during the warm-up,” Ronaldo explained. “But for the national team, if I had to break a leg, I’d still go out there. It’s a trophy. I gave everything I had and even scored a goal.”
He added that despite the pain, he forced himself to keep going because representing his country means pushing beyond limits. Ronaldo’s goal helped Portugal draw 2-2 with Spain after extra time, before they triumphed 5-3 in the penalty shootout at the Allianz Arena in Munich.
