Cristiano Ronaldo’s 137th international goal completed a dramatic comeback as Portugal beat Germany 2-1 in Munich to book their place in the UEFA Nations League final.

Germany took the lead early in the second half through Florian Wirtz after a storm-delayed kick-off, but Portugal struck back with two goals in five minutes.

Francisco Conceição’s curling effort brought them level before Nuno Mendes set up Ronaldo for the winner.

It was Portugal’s first win over Germany in six meetings, ending a five-game losing streak.

The result also handed Germany just their second home defeat in 13 matches under Julian Nagelsmann.
