In a career filled with records and trophies, the Madeiran striker, even in his forties, continues to be part of Portugal's decisive moments and, 21 years after his first final, at the 2004 European Championship, Ronaldo will once again attempt to win another title, this time against Spain, in the Nations League, in a match that will take place on Sunday in Munich.

The captain continues to play in all of them and is the only ‘survivor’ of the memorable duel with Greece in 2004 (a 1-0 defeat) at the Estádio da Luz, and of the greatest achievement in Portuguese football, when the Portuguese national team beat France (1-0) in extra time in the 2016 Euro Cup to win the title.

In 2019, at the Portuguese celebrations in the first edition of the Nations League in Porto, Ronaldo also played against the Netherlands (1-0), but this time accompanied by figures who are still part of the national team today, after six years.

At the Estádio do Dragão, Nelson Semedo, Ruben Dias, Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva, who was even voted the best player of the tournament, started against the Dutch, with Ruben Neves coming on in injury time, and could experience the second final of his career with Portugal on Sunday.

On the bench of then-coach Fernando Santos were also José Sá, João Félix, and Diogo Jota.

In the finalists' table, Ronaldo is alone with three, with five players behind him with two, although all of them, despite still being active, are far from the options of the current 'commander', Roberto Martinez.

Rui Patrício, the most capped goalkeeper of all time for Portugal, and Raphael Guerreiro, both starters at Euro 2016 and in the Nations League in 2019, were even part of the Spanish coach's choices, but lost their place last year.

José Fonte, William Carvalho and João Moutinho are the others who wore the 'quinas' shirt in decisive games for a title.

Current assistants on Roberto Martínez's coaching staff, former goalkeeper Ricardo was in the defeat against the Greeks, as was former defender Ricardo Carvalho, who also made an appearance in 2016 in France, but ended up not coming off the bench against the Gauls.

Portugal-Spain, is scheduled for Sunday, at 8 pm (9 pm local time), at the Allianz Arena, in Munich, Germany, and will be refereed by the Swiss Sandro Scharer.
