Cristiano Ronaldo, 40, continues to prove the doubters wrong, having recently lifted the UEFA Nations League trophy with Portugal. He has now won the tournament twice, making it three trophies for his country (also Euro 2016).

Portugal, captained by the ever-resilient Cristiano Ronaldo, faced what many deemed an insurmountable task: toppling Spain, the reigning UEFA Nations League holders and newly crowned European champions.

Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal knocked off Spain Sunday at the Nations League, with the match finished 2-2 in regulation before Portugal won 5-3 in penalties.
