The final of the UEFA League A League is coming to an end, with the favorite to win the championship Spain facing Portugal led by Cristiano Ronaldo. In the whole game, the three troops of Portugal were not favored to be killed, and they were twice behind and equalized! After overtime, he entered a penalty shootout. In the end, Morata missed a deadly penalty kick, Portugal defeated Spain and won the championship!

First half: Spain took the initiative

From the beginning of the game, the two teams launched a fast-paced offensive and defensive transition, and Neves' volley was slightly off the slightest! In the 12th minute, Yamal took the ball from the side and flew around. B Fei made a blind tackle and foul, giving Spain a free kick with a very good position, and then shot a little higher. Just two minutes later, Nicho Williams made a backward pass, followed Pedri's shot, and missed the post! In the 22nd minute, the score was rewritten! Yamal sent the ball into the penalty area, Portugal cleared not far away, and Zubimendi, who followed, scored 1:0!

However, Spain has not stabilized the situation. Three minutes later, Mendez broke into the penalty area and shot with great force and strong shot straight into the dead corner at the far end, 1:1! After the score returned to the same starting line, the two sides gradually showed a balance of power, and most of their energy was focused on fighting in the midfield. In the 45th minute, the stalemate situation was turbulent again. Pedri passed the penalty area directly, and Oyasaval scored with a light push, 2:1! At the end of the half game, Spain temporarily led by one goal.

Midfield Comments

Although Spain leads the score, the team's condition was not very ideal throughout the first half. There were many low-level mistakes. If the referee had not shown mercy, many people would have been warned and even carried yellow cards. However, the team is strong in the midfield and frontcourt. As long as Portugal is not focused, the breakthroughs of Yamal, Pedri, and Nicho Williams will directly threaten the penalty area, especially Pedri!

And Portugal needs to adjust its mentality in time. Although the team's scene is passive, this is also predictable before the game. The referee's multiple controversial calls cannot affect everyone's mood. After all, there is a video assistant referee intervening. Neto and Kokssan should still resolutely penetrate the ribs to create opportunities for Ronaldo and the second echelon. In addition, the three main players in the midfield, B Fe, B Se and Vitinia, will continue to maintain a high aggression.

Second half: Ronaldo scored + injured and retreated

The lagging Portugal fine-tuned the lineup. After returning to the court again, the team strengthened pressing in the middle and frontcourt, and once took the initiative in the game. Spain's overall condition is still not excited enough, and it makes a little more mistakes. In the 58th minute, Fabian's long shot was considered a big highlight. In the 61st minute, the score was rewritten again. Mendes made a cross from the wing, and Ronaldo in the middle of the penalty area beat Cucurella and scored a goal from close range, 2:2! The scores of both sides returned to the same starting line again. After

was tied, Spain woke up from a dream and gradually regained its strong control. Portugal stabilized its defensive formation and waited for an opportunity to try to fight back. In the 75th minute, the two teams kept changing players, and Isco, Merino, Vega and Leo made a debut. In the 83rd minute, Isco took a long shot and was pushed out of the crossbar by the goalkeeper! In the 90th minute, Lenoermann knocked down Leo who broke through the penalty area, and Portugal got a good set piece, and B's powerful shot was resolved by the goalkeeper. The final regular time ended, and the two teams did not decide the winner and lost and entered overtime.

After the overtime starts, the pace of both sides is relatively slow, reducing mistakes and seeking counterattack becomes each other's main theme. Mendes and Leo's breakthrough on the wing made Spain's defense panic several times. In the final 30-minute competition, both sides still had no choice but to win and lose, and the game had to enter a cruel penalty shootout.

All five free throwers in Portugal hit, and Morata, Spain, was saved in the penalty kick. In the end, after a penalty shootout, Portugal defeated Spain and won the final championship!

Summary after the game

The entire game is completely different from what everyone thought before the game, not the result but the whole process!

The Spanish team, which is stronger on paper, is almost like sleepwalking throughout the game. Nico Williams and Yamal, the two major wingers, had almost no desire to attack. And Delafuent's platoon and on-site command are completely incomprehensible. When Pedri was on the court, Spain's midfielder had some advantages, but after the game, the team did not replace Olmo and Garvey and other strong players, but just blindly controlled the situation and ruined the good game! After the game, everyone raised strong doubts about Delafuent's attitude, and they also complained about Yamal's sluggish offensive posture. Although Mendes' performance is indeed excellent, it will not be able to completely limit you, resulting in almost no performance in the whole game. In the end, Morata, who missed a penalty kick, also became the target of fans' venting.

Finally, congratulations to Portugal for winning the final championship. Without being favored by everyone, he defeated the powerful Spain with his tenacious will.

And the 40-year-old Ronaldo is the best spokesperson for interpreting this point. Although he is no longer as brave as he used to be, he spares no effort to run throughout the game to the greatest extent. After being replaced by injury, Ronaldo has been paying close attention to the situation on the court, and has been silently clasping his hands together for the team in overtime and penalty shootouts. After winning the championship, he sighed to the sky and cried with joy!
