Portugal's Nations League win on Sunday was a true collective effort in a game that showed the strength and depth of both sides a year out from the World Cup.
Yamal and Ronaldo were the big storyline going into Sunday's UEFA Nations League final, but their all-star teams ended up taking center stage in a gripping contest.
Both goalkeepers, Spain's Unai Simón and Portugal's Costa, also showed themselves to be of the quality required to win a World Cup.
The "ESPN FC" crew discuss whether Portugal need to look for a new striker before the 2026 World Cup.
Yamal, on the other hand, is already a wonderkid and will only be better by the time the World Cup comes around.
