Cristiano Ronaldo captured another major trophy after leading Portugal to victory in the UEFA Nations League, bringing him one step closer to Lionel Messi in the race to become the most decorated player in soccer history.
Portugal edged out Spain in a dramatic UEFA Nations League Final, with high stakes, emotional moments, and standout performances. Cristiano Ronaldo played a key role in one of Portugal’s goals during the intense contest, helping his national team secure the victory in a match that ended in a thrilling penalty shootout. With this win, Ronaldo adds another international trophy to his decorated career and takes a step closer to Lionel Messi on the list of the most decorated players in soccer history.
The Nations League crown marks the 36th career title for the ever-resilient Ronaldo. It’s his first championship since August 2023, when he lifted the Arab Club Champions Cup with Al-Nassr. On the international stage, it’s his third major trophy, following Portugal’s triumphs at Euro 2016 and the inaugural Nations League in 2019. Beyond his personal accolades, the win allows Ronaldo to tighten the gap with Messi in their ongoing battle for the title of the most accomplished player the sport has ever seen.
With this victory, Ronaldo now joins Ángel Di María, Sergio Busquets, and Ryan Giggs—each with 36 major titles. He trails Messi by ten trophies, a number that may seem difficult to reach, but with Ronaldo, nothing is ever out of the question. The pursuit continues.
