Portugal controlled much of the match, but a late goal eliminated them from the Nations League Final Four.

Cristiano Ronaldo is Portugal's star man, the 37-year-old star who has seen his activity with Man Utd reduced of late due to his lack of pace with the team, no longer having the same authority he was seen to have last season, largely because of what happened in the summer when he failed to turn up for the team, he sought his exit from the club.

As Raphael Varane commented on his teammate Cristiano, he said that it is very complicated to perform when you were not in a preseason where many situations of the team are refined, you work on things that only give you time to work on them in preseason, it is very complicated to work on these issues in the team's week of training.

Undoubtedly Cristiano is not living his best period in charge of Portugal, as he has only scored two goals so far in 2022. A very low number for the Portuguese player, who has been in charge of turning around the adversities of his career, something that has always distinguished him, the failure that he lived today was very hard for his country.

The match was very hard fought, but the scales were tipped to be of greater advantage to the Portuguese, who came a lot to rival goal, the problem was that Unai Simon responded very well for Spain, the match with a draw was enough for Portugal to move to the Final Four of the Nations League as first in the group, the situation was not so, since, in the 88th minute Alvaro Morata would convert a goal.

Portugal missed many chances and came close to advancing to the Nations League Final Four

The Braga stadium was witness of this match which could not be finished in six rounds in favour of the Portuguese, who only needed a draw at home with Spain, the task was being achieved and in the end no Dalot, Bruno Fernandes and Crisitiano could do anything to advance to the next round, now the next step will be to go to Qatar 2022.
