Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo described their UEFA Nations League win over Spain as “duty done” and an emotional moment for him. After Portugal secured the title with a penalty shootout victory, Ronaldo was seen wiping away tears, overwhelmed by the significance of the achievement.

For the 40-year-old, lifting a trophy with his country holds more meaning than any club success he’s had. He scored his 138th international goal to help push the game to penalties but then watched from the sidelines as Portugal converted all five spot-kicks to claim the trophy.

Speaking to Sport TV, Ronaldo shared how special the win was for his generation of players and his family, who came to support him. “Winning for Portugal is unlike anything else,” he said.

“I have many club titles, but nothing compares to this. It’s tears of joy. Duty done. This is what being captain means — pride and honor. Winning a major title with your country is the ultimate feeling.”
