Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 137th international goal for Portugal on Wednesday as they came from a goal down to beat Germany 2-1 and reach the Nations League final.
The 40-year-old tapped in Nuno Mendes’ low pass in the 68th minute for what proved to be the winner and set up a final against either France or Spain.
Ronaldo’s effort came just five minutes after Francisco Conceicao had equalized the 48th-minute Florian Wirtz goal for the hosts.
His side were suddenly dominant and, after their two goals, Portugal had further chances as Ter Stegen made a brilliant double stop to deny Liverpool’s Diogo Jota and the follow-up from Conceicao.
Portugal won the first tournament in 2019, but their hopes of a second success looked slim when they fell behind in Munich.
France and Spain will play the second semi-final in Stuttgart this Thursday, with the final coming up in Munich on Sunday.
This is the fourth edition of the Nations League with Portugal winning in 2019, France in 2021 and Spain in 2023.
