Portugal praise veteran Ronaldo's 'hunger' after Nations League win
Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 137th international goal as Portugal beat Germany 2-1 in the Nations League semi-final in Munich (Alexandra BEIER) Portugal midfielder Bernardo Silva praised Cristiano Ronaldo's "hunger" after the 40-year-old striker continued to defy the years with a 68th-minute winner which booked a spot in Sunday's Nations League final. Ronaldo came into the tournament amid swirling doubts about his future at club level, with the veteran's contract at Saudi side Al-Nassr set to expire at the end of June. Advertisement In May, the Portuguese posted on social media "the chapter is over" as reports emerged he could switch to another club, potentially Saudi side Al Hilal, in order to play the Club World Cup in the United States in June. But he left behind all the speculation as he knocked in his 137th international goal, extending his own record in his 220th game for Portugal. Ronaldo had missed a few half chances but after Francisco Conceicao had levelled after Florian Wirtz had put Germany ahead early in the second half, he was on the spot to tap in a Nuno Mendes pass which put Portugal on track for victory. "It's his ambition to keep going," Silva said of his long-time teammate. Advertisement "It's never easy -- I don't know how old he is, I think he's like 40 -- to still be hungry to go every day. "He's been doing this for more than 20 years. It's tough, but he's here with us and we're happy he scored again." The victory was Ronaldo's first against Germany, after five straight losses. Portugal last won against Germany in 2000. Portugal coach Roberto Martinez echoed Silva's statements, saying his "hunger" and desire to improve made him a unique figure in the sport. "It's difficult to put into words. He takes each day as an opportunity to get better," Martinez said. Advertisement "As a human, when you have success, you wake up and you have less hunger. But not Cristiano." The former Real Madrid and Manchester United forward also won praise from opposing coach Julian Nagelsmann, who singled out the veteran's professionalism as the reason for his longevity. "He is investing everything in his body, from sleep to nutrition, to the intensity of his training, so that everything doesn't hurt as much as it should at 40." dwi/bsp

Ronaldo ends Germany curse to send Portugal into Nations League final
Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo celebrates victory after the UEFA Nations League semi final soccer match between Germany and Portugal at Allianz Arena. Sven Hoppe/dpa Cristiano Ronaldo scored the winner after Francisco Conceicao emulated his father as Portugal ended their long curse against hosts Germany with a 2-1 comeback victory on Wednesday for a place in the Nations League final. Man of the Match Conceicao with a superb curling shot in the 63rd and Ronaldo's tap-in five minutes later reversed Germany's 48th minute lead from a header by Liverpool target Florian Wirtz. Advertisement It was the 137th national team goal for the 40-year-old Ronaldo in his 220th cap, both figures being world records. Portuguse delight Portugal previously last beat Germany 25 years ago at Euro 2000 - 3-0 from a hat-trick by Conceicao's father, Sergio Conceicao. They then lost five times in a row against them, with Ronaldo featuring in all of them. Winners of the inaugural Nations League in 2019, Portugal advanced into Sunday's final in the same Munich arena which will be a contest for a second title because they will face either 2021 winners France or 2023 champions Spain. "Conceding wasn't easy but we showed a lot of character," midfielder Bernardo Silva told streaming portal DAZN, adding "hopefully to win" the final but warning that "France and Spain have a lot of quality." Advertisement Looking at Ronaldo, he praised "his ambition to keep going. We are happy to have him with us." Coach Roberto Martinez hailed his team's "tactical flexibility" as he said: "I never felt Germany had control. It is one of the games where you feel really proud as a coach." German revival stalls Germany, who lacked in many aspects, will play for third place in Stuttgart on Sunday as their dream of a first title since the 2017 Confederations Cup ended with a first defeat since the Euro 2024 quarter-finals against eventual champions Spain. "We were not good enough over 90 minutes to win this game. We didn't have enough courage and weren't clean enough. A lot more would have been possible," said captain Joshua Kimmich, who earned his 100th cap. Advertisement "We have to learn our lessons and try to win on Sunday," Kimmich said. Coach Julian Nagelsmann said: "We weren't as ruthless as in previous games. We were not active after scoring, lost many balls." TerStegen returns, Vitinha starts on subs' bench Marc-Andre ter Stegen returned between the Germany posts from a severe knee injury and in-form VfB Stuttgart forward Nick Woltemade started after being called up for the first time from a depleted squad missing the likes of Jamal Musiala, Kai Havertz and Antonio Rüdiger. Portugal midfielder Vitinha was benched five days after his heroics in the same stadium in Paris Saint-Germain's 5-0 Champions League final triumph over Inter Milan, while his PSG team-mates Nuno Mendes and Joao Neves started. Advertisement Portugal's strong start, Germany try to hit back The match started a few minutes late because a hailstorm had delayed the warm-up, and although the hosts threatened early from Leon Goretzka it was Portugal who had the brighter start with high pressing. Ronaldo failed to hit the ball properly after a determined run from Pedro Neto down the left as Ter Stegen easily gathered, and Neto blazed over shortly afterwards. Germany grew into the game, and now Portugal keeper Diogo Costa needed big saves to deny first Woltemade in the 19th and Goretzka two minutes later. Portugal almost pounced seconds after the restart when Ronaldo just failed to connect with Mendes' sharp cross from the left at the far post. Advertisement Wirtz scores but Portugal hit back Wirtz had been no major factor but in the 48th got the ball, passed it to Kimmich, ran into the penalty area and headed the captain's chipped ball into the far right corner for 1-0. Bruno Fernandes curled wide as Portugal sought a response and also brought fresh blood including Vitinha and Conceicao. Ronaldo headed over and had a free-kick blocked but Portugal were level in the 63rd when Conceicao cut inside from the right and sensationally curled into the far bottom corner. Germany were rattled and Portugal were ahead five minutes later when Ronaldo had no problems finishing off another low cross from Mendes. Advertisement German substitute Karim Adeyemi hit the outside post but Portugal remained the more dangerous side. Ter Stegen saved superbly from Diogo Jota and Conceicao, and again from Jota seconds before the final whistle.

WATCH: Marc-Andre Ter Stegen responds to Barcelona critics with incredible double save for Germany
Marc-Andre Ter Stegen has been strongly linked with a move away from Barcelona this summer, with the club set to sign Joan Garcia to be the new first-choice goalkeeper. But the veteran stopper is determined to fight for his place, and on Wednesday, he showed that he is still capable of being the Catalans' number one. Ter Stegen has been at Barcelona for over a decade, and for the vast majority of that period, he has been the club's starter. But that looks set to change with Garcia's impending arrival, which would see him drop to third-choice in the pecking order (also behind Wojciech Szczesny). Image via Getty Images In recent days, Ter Stegen has made it clear that he has no desire to leave Barcelona, and he still sees himself as being more than capable of the starting spot in Hansi Flick's team. And he put those words into action when playing for Germany in their UEFA Nations League semi-final against Portugal. Marc-Andre Ter Stegen makes big saves for Germany Late on in Munich, Ter Stegen produced an excellent double save to deny Portugal attackers Diogo Jota and Francisco Conceicao. There has been a lot of doubts about Ter Stegen's level over the last few years, with many Barcelona supporters urging the club to move on from the 33-year-old. And while it appears that they will get their wish this summer, it is far from guaranteed that Garcia will come in and take the jersey right away – especially if Ter Stegen refuses to leave. But it is clear that Ter Stegen will want to play regular football in order to ensure that he is Germany's starter for next summer's World Cup. And if he cannot get that at Barcelona, he may have to accept defeat and move to another club.
