Cristiano Ronaldo was in tears as Portugal picked up their second Nations League title by beating holders Spain 5-3 on penalties following a thrilling 2-2 draw in Sunday's final in Munich, Germany.
"Winning for Portugal is always special," Ronaldo told Sport TV.
"I have many titles with clubs, but nothing is better than winning for Portugal.
But we are proud of our team and we will fight to be close to winning a title again."
The tussle between the Iberian neighbours was billed as a clash between old and new -- 40-year-old and five-times Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo and Spain's teenage sensation Lamine Yamal.
