The stage is set for an electrifying finale at the UEFA Nations League 2025, as reigning European champions Spain will clash with Portugal in the much-anticipated final at Allianz Arena on Monday, June 9 (IST). The two teams booked their place after thrilling semi-final victories over heavyweight opponents.

Spain Outlast France in High-Scoring Thriller

Spain earned their spot in the final after a breathtaking 5-4 win over France in Stuttgart. The match was a goal-fest, with Lamine Yamal starring for La Roja by netting twice. He was supported by goals from Mikel Merino, Nico Williams, and Pedri, ensuring the defending champions advanced despite a late French resurgence.

France, missing key defenders due to injury, found themselves trailing for most of the match. Their goals came from Kylian Mbappe (penalty), Rayan Cherki (on debut), Kolo Muani, and an own goal by Spain's Dani Vivian. Despite the flurry of late goals, France fell just short in one of the tournament’s most dramatic encounters.

Cristiano Ronaldo Leads Portugal Past Germany

Portugal secured their berth in the final with a 2-1 victory over Germany at the Allianz Arena. Cristiano Ronaldo proved to be the difference-maker, scoring the decisive goal to send his side through. Portugal’s experienced core will now take on a dynamic Spanish squad full of youthful talent.

This final sets up a classic battle: Ronaldo's experience and leadership against the explosive young Spanish stars, including the in-form Lamine Yamal. Fans around the world will be watching closely as the two sides meet in what promises to be a thrilling end to the 2025 Nations League campaign.
