Summary
Cristiano Ronaldo is calling this his final World Cup, embracing peace over pressure—even if his last match is against Spain. Portugal’s wild run to the knockout stage included a dramatic stoppage-time win over Croatia, fueled by controversy and a late goal, while Ronaldo was even substituted early. Spain’s coach remains wary of the legend’s game-changing ability, despite not man-marking him. Both teams have defied expectations—Portugal drew with Congo, Spain held Cape Verde scoreless—while Ronaldo leads with three goals, outpacing Spain’s 18-year-old phenom Lamine Yamal. Their last regulation meeting ended in a draw back in 2010, though Portugal edged Spain on penalties in the 2025 Nations League final.
