The "Allianz Arena" in Munich witnessed a thrilling football night, as the Portuguese national team faced off against their Spanish counterparts in the UEFA Nations League final, amidst an atmosphere filled with excitement and fan tension.

The match ended in a dramatic 2-2 draw, before Portugal secured victory through a penalty shootout with a score of 5-3, claiming the title in a match that nearly slipped from their hands.

The most notable moment was Cristiano Ronaldo raising his hands in prayer in the Islamic manner, a scene that was repeated twice during the match, capturing the attention of fans and critics alike.

Ronaldo was seen praying while sitting on the bench, then repeated the gesture again during the penalty shootout, adding a human and spiritual dimension to his football presence known for strength and discipline.

Arab fans reacted widely to this moment, considering it a reflection of the deep appreciation Ronaldo has for spiritual values, making him a role model both on and off the pitch.

Journalist Muteb Al-Awad commented on the situation, saying: "In an environment that values prayer before matches and respects values more than titles, Ronaldo understood that true glory begins with intention and prayer, not just with feet alone."
