On Thursday night, Barcelona defeated Sweden 5-2, and Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes participated the entire match.
The Estádio D. Afonso Henriques hosted the game. It was a friendly match to help European national teams prepare more effectively for Euro 2024, which takes place in the summer.
Fernandes began the game with Fulham’s Joao Palhinha and Manchester City’s Matheus Nunes in the middle of the field.
The captain of United both scored and assisted on goals.
With the goaltender already out of position, Nelson Semedo threw him the ball expertly, and all he had to do to score was tap it into an empty net.
Fernandes’ goal put the Selecao ahead by three goals soon before halftime.
His next move came in the 57th minute following the interval, when he set up Bruma’s goal.
During his time representing his nation, the athlete made 73 touches to the ball. With 59 passes, he attempted to locate his teammates 49 times and was successful, for an 83% pass completion rate. He completed two crucial passes.
Fernandes attempted to hit four crosses and six long balls. He hit the long ball with three well-placed attempts. Only one decent cross did he make.
He made a large opening.
The 29-year-old athlete finished with a single move. He engaged in five ground battles, winning three of them.
He made twice as many stops and cleared the ball once.
Sofascore is the source of these figures.
Fernandes’ goal in Tuesday’s friendly match between Portugal and Slovenia is probably to carry on from where he left off.
