Ronaldo shocked Germany: Dramatic National League victory for Portugal!
Cristiano Ronaldo played a crucial role in the National League semi-final with his 137th goal for Portugal. On June 4, 2025, he led his team to a 2-1 win against Germany in Munich. The game started with a shock for the Portuguese when Florian Wirtz gave Germany the lead in the 48th minute. However, the course of the game took a turn when Francisco Conceicao had equalized in the 63rd minute. After the equalization, it was Ronaldo who turned the game in the 68th minute and thus taught the German team the first defeat since the quarter-finals at the 2024 home. These achievements once again underpin its importance for the national team, especially in a crucial moment like this.strong appearance of the German team
Germany started the game well and had some chances, but was unable to overcome Portuguese goalkeeper Diogo Costa. Joshua Kimmich, who played his 100th international game, played decisive passports, but not only had to support his teammates on the defensive, but also fight back when it became complicated again after the lead.
Marc-André Ter Stegen, who returned after a knee injury, was one of the main reasons why the game was not significantly in favor of Portugal by preventing another goal with two strong parades. The kick -off was postponed by ten minutes because a storm impaired the warm -up program of the players.

A misunderstanding in the defense led to compensation by Conceicao, which benefited from a playback error by Jonathan Tah. Ronaldo then used an excellent combination with Bruno Fernandes and Nuno Mendes to achieve the decisive 2-1. In the final phase, Conceicao had the opportunity to score his second goal, while Karim Adeyemi failed with a shot on the outer post.
With this victory, Portugal is strongly positioned in the competition and the focus is now on the upcoming game for third place for Germany, which has to compete against Spain or France. Ronaldo, who was already shining in the previous games of the Nations League, has established himself as a key player and leads the goal scorer list with five goals in five games. This makes him one of the outstanding players of the current season and shows his remarkable resistance in international football, even at the age of 39.
