Portugal have secured their place in the UEFA Nations League final after staging an impressive comeback to defeat Germany 2-1 in Wednesday night's semi-final clash.

The Germans took the lead through Liverpool-bound midfielder Florian Wirtz, who converted a clever pass from Joshua Kimmich. The goal sparked controversy as Portugal protested, claiming Nick Woltemade had blocked defender Ruben Dias in the build-up.

Referee Slavko Vincic was called to review the incident on the VAR pitchside monitor but ultimately allowed the goal to stand, giving Germany the advantage.

Portugal's Comeback

The Portuguese response came in the 63rd minute when substitute Francisco Conceicao curled home a beautiful equalizer, bringing the teams level and shifting momentum in Portugal's favor.

It was then left to captain Cristiano Ronaldo to deliver the decisive blow, netting his 137th international goal to complete the comeback and secure Portugal's place in the final.

This victory puts Portugal one step closer to claiming their second Nations League trophy, having won the inaugural edition of the tournament in 2019.

Final Awaits

Portugal will now face the winner of the second semi-final between Spain and France, which takes place in Stuttgart on Thursday. The final is scheduled for Sunday in Munich.

For Ronaldo, this represents another opportunity to add to his remarkable international trophy collection, as he continues to extend his record as the highest international goalscorer in men's football history.
