In the 49th minute, defender Nuno Mendes unexpectedly scored after a chaotic situation in the penalty area. However, the main referee Sandro Scharer had to wait for advice from the VAR team because he suspected that Ronaldo might have been offside when participating in the attack.
Mikel Oyarzabal, captain of the Spanish team, immediately reacted, asking the referee to cancel the goal because he thought Ronaldo had interfered in the situation. Meanwhile, CR7 continuously affirmed that he was not offside and had no influence on the ball.

Ronaldo celebrates provocatively. |
The referee asked both of them to calm down while VAR checked. After a few minutes of waiting, VAR confirmed the goal was valid, causing Ronaldo to celebrate excitedly. He clenched his fist, pointing it directly at Oyarzabal's face in a provocative manner.
This gesture was quickly condemned by netizens as ugly, especially when both are team captains and responsible for maintaining their image on the field.
"At 40, Ronaldo still has competitiveness and aggression," Marca commented.
The tension did not stop there. In the 71st minute, Oyarzabal himself scored to raise the score to 2-1 for Spain after Pedri's assist.
Ronaldo continued to react strongly, claiming that Le Normand had fouled Bernardo Silva in the dispute before the goal. However, VAR once again sided with Spain, recognizing the goal as valid.
The Nations League final ended in a 2-2 draw. Portugal won 5-3 on penalties and became the first team to win the UEFA tournament twice.
