Just like Bayern Munich’s 2024/25 Champions League campaign, Germany’s dream of hoisting a trophy at the Allianz Arena was ruined by a quality opponent. Portugal defeated Germany 2-1 in a choppy contest mired by a little controversy and some small scuffles in the waning minutes.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored again as Portugal came from behind to beat Germany 2-1 in their Nations League semifinal on Wednesday. The 40-year-old Ronaldo captained Portugal and scored his 137th international goal five minutes after substitute Francisco Conceição equalized with a blistering shot inside the far post in the 63rd.

Ronaldo's 68th-minute tap in, a record-extending 137th international goal, sealed a first win over Germany after five losses, the 40-year-old's longest streak against any national side without tasting victory.
