Portugal have won their second Nations League title after beating neighbours Spain 5-3 in a penalty shootout final in Munich this morning.

Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo equalised 2-2 in the 61st minute, but there was nothing else to separate the two sides when the referee signalled full time.

Subbed off before extra time, Ronaldo dropped to the turf and sobbed tears of joy on the sidelines after Ruben Neves slotted home the winning penalty following Diogo Costa's save from Alvaro Morata's spot-kick.

Martin Zubimendi and Mikel Oyarzabal scored for Spain while had Nuno Mendes scored for Portugal.

Portugal became the first team to win two Nations League titles - denying Spain, who were vying for the same honour.
