Ronaldo Says Winning Nations League for Portugal Is the Greatest Joy of His Career
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.”

Football legend Thierry Henry has reacted to Lionel Messi’s emotional response after Argentina lost the 2026 FIFA World Cup final to Spain.
It can be recalled that Spain defeated Argentina to lift the 2026 World Cup trophy. While Spain celebrated their victory, cameras captured Messi in tears after the final whistle.
Henry said Messi’s reaction showed just how much the game still means to him.
“Look at what it means to him. If you ever had any doubt about whether the guy still has any fire in his belly, look at him. Look at what it means.”
He added “You won already. And look at the guy. Look at the passion, desire and the love that he has for his country and how much he puts into it.”
Football legend Rio Ferdinand has shared his prediction ahead of the FIFA World Cup final between Spain and Argentina.
While many have backed different teams to lift the trophy, Ferdinand said some fans have underestimated Argentina’s quality.
He said “I find it difficult to bet against Argentina. They have demonstrated remarkable character, determination, and resilience. I believe people have been somewhat disrespectful by calling them an average team; they are not.”
He continued “I think it is inappropriate and disrespectful. If you are saying that, you clearly do not watch enough football, as they are an excellent team, and in challenging situations, they become even better and stronger. However, I do believe Spain will win the match.”
