New Footage Shows Cristiano Ronaldo's Emotional Reaction to Portugal's Nations League Triumph

New footage has revealed Cristiano Ronaldo's emotional reaction from the touchline as Portugal beat Spain on penalties to win the Nations League on Sunday night.

The 40-year-old had scored a second-half equaliser to level the final at 2-2 at the Allianz Arena in Munich.

Ronaldo was brought off in the closing stages of normal time and was forced to watch extra-time and penalties from the touchline.

Footage has shown that Ronaldo was barely able to watch the shoot-out, with the 40-year-old seen hiding behind coaching staff and his former Man United team-mate Diogo Dalot.

Portugal earned a 5-3 win on penalties with Spain forward Alvaro Morata seeing his effort saved by Diogo Costa.

Ronaldo could be seen falling to his knees after Ruben Neves converted the winning penalty.

The forward then rested his head onto the turf for an extended period as staff offered their congratulations.

After turning to the crowd and pumping his fists in celebration, Ronaldo then made his way onto the pitch to continue to toast the victory with teammates.

Ronaldo was ultimately reduced to tears by Portugal's triumph, the first piece of silverware he has won with his nation for six years.

The veteran forward lifted the Nations League trophy in his role as Portugal captain.

Ronaldo has now won the European Championships with Portugal in 2016, as well as the Nations League in 2019 and 2025.

He will set his sights on a final appearance at the World Cup next year in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Portugal will likely enter the tournament as one of the favourites to lift the trophy, a prize that has proved elusive for Ronaldo during his international career.

Ronaldo already holds the record for most men's international caps with 221, while his 138th Portugal goal on Sunday extended his record further.
