With goals from Conceicao and Ronaldo, Portugal defeated Germany 2-1 in the semi-finals of the 2024/25 UEFA Nations League and advanced to the final. Roberto Martinez said he hopes the team will make good use of future games and continue to prepare for next year's World Cup.

In the 48th minute of the second half, Kimmich made a lob pass to the goal and Wirtz headed the ball in, helping Germany take the lead 1-0. In the 63rd minute, Portuguese defender Dias, who plays for Manchester City, passed the ball to Conceicao, who then made his way into the top of the penalty area and scored with a long shot, helping Portugal tie the score 1-1.

In the 68th minute, Nuno Mendes made a diagonal pass from the penalty area, and Ronaldo pushed the ball into the goal, helping Portugal to overtake 2-1.

In the end, Portugal defeated Germany 2-1 at the Allianz Arena and successfully advanced to the final.

"If you want to compete with Germany, there are many things you need to do well," said Portugal coach Roberto Martinez. "We could have had more possession because there were spaces, but we didn't use them well in the first half."

“It’s important to stay competitive. We need to be flexible and use the individual abilities of our players, and our efficiency in front of goal improved significantly in the second half. This is a team victory. Our tactical performance was excellent and the players’ commitment was crucial, so we need to enjoy this victory.”

Roberto Martinez also said, "Every game is different, the opponent is a more solid side, but the games against Germany are always high-level games. There are still 12 months to the World Cup and we must use every game to prepare for it. Now is a good time to evaluate the performance and we hope to play a game full of personality."

In addition, Portugal defender Nuno Mendes said, "We played a very good game, especially defensively. We knew how to persevere in difficult moments and responded well to the opponent's style of play."

"We knew they were good at keeping the ball and exploiting the spaces, and they had a lot of good players, but we responded well and hit them on the counter. We scored two goals but we could have scored more."
