This Thursday evening saw the final of the 2025 Nations League between Spain and Portugal. A match that turned in Portugal's favor in the end with a penalty shootout!

Discover the three standout players from this final.

Vitinha 🥉

You wouldn't think he's just come out of a long season. The true metronome of Portugal, the pocket midfielder once again delivered a performance of great cleanliness, which he sublimated with a penalty kick full of composure.

The leader that the Seleçao was looking for.

Mikel Oyarzabal 🥈

Not the most flashy name in the Spanish selection, but what elegance and efficiency for the Real Sociedad player. Author of a magnificent deflection on Spain's first goal, Oyarzabal then turned into a finisher to give Spain a temporary advantage.

Another full match for the top scorer in Roja's history in the final.

Nuno Mendes 🥇

Enormous end to the season for the Portuguese, a week after his coronation in the Champions League, the PSG full-back tormented the Spanish right flank. Scoring his first goal for the national team to bring Portugal back into the game, Nuno Mendes once again accelerated the Seleçao on Cristiano Ronaldo's goal, before calmly converting his penalty kick.

In addition to being a permanent danger, the Portuguese full-back even afforded the luxury of neutralizing Lamine Yamal, who was hardly seen in the match. And what if he was the best full-back in the world?
