Striker Anisio Cabral was the hero of the match when he scored the only goal in the 32nd minute, with a close-range tap-in to help Portugal U17 win the final victory. This is also the first time in history that Portugal has won the U17 World Cup.
Cristiano Ronaldo shared a congratulatory message along with a photo on his Instagram page with 668 million followers, praising the younger generation for their miracle: "Giants! Congratulations, world champion! ".
CR7 has long been a great source of inspiration for Portugal's youth teams. He often shows strong support, acting as a spiritual leader and advisor for the next generation of talents, always giving timely advice and encouragement.
Ronaldo's dedication to the national team jersey has also become a standard for young players to follow. He once affirmed: "There is nothing compared to representing your country."
At the end of the 2025 U17 World Cup, Portugal not only won the championship but also won two more individual awards: striker Mateus Mide won the Golden Ball, and goalkeeper Romario Cunha was honored with the Golden Gloves.
