The king of adversity! 40-year-old Ronaldo scored 937th goal, defeated Germany for the first time in his career, and made his third championship in the national team four days later

In the first semi-final match of the 2025 European League ended in the early morning of June 5, Portugal reversed Germany 2-1 and entered the finals for the second time. In this game, the 40-year-old legendary captain Cristiano Ronaldo stood up for Portugal. In this game, Ronaldo did not have many opportunities in the first half. But in the second half, after Werz helped Germany break the deadlock first, it inspired the fighting spirit of Ronaldo and Portuguese players. After Kohn Sesan equalized the world wave, in the 68th minute, Portugal made a straight pass through the German defense line. Nuno Mendes made a cross-legged assist, Ronaldo scored in time in front of the goal, and Portugal successfully reversed the score by 2 goals in 5 minutes. After scoring a goal, Ronaldo hugged Nuno Mendes excitedly, and he also knew that this goal was worth a thousand gold. This is the 137th goal of Ronaldo's national team's career, with a total of 937 goals in his career. According to post-match statistics, Ronaldo scored 1 goal in 7 shots and 2 shots in this game, and he scored a high score of 7.6.

It is worth noting that this is the first time that Ronaldo has beaten the German men's football national team in his career. Previously, he led the Portugal team to lose five consecutive losses in the World Cup and European Cup stadiums. The German team once became the "intellectual demon" of Ronaldo, but now Ronaldo has finally washed away his shame in his twilight years of his career.

This is also the second time that Ronaldo has led his team to the UEFA Nations League final. In 2019, Ronaldo led his team to win the championship. Four days later, at 3 a.m. on June 9, in the UEFA Nations League final, Ronaldo will also launch an attack on his third important championship trophy for the national team. He will wait for the winners from France and Spain to compete for this year's UEFA Champions League.
