It seems that the conversation of Portuguese Bruno Fernandes, captain of Manchester United, with his teammates during the halves of the match between Portugal and Iceland in the European qualifiers for Euro 2024 did not please his colleagues Cristiano Ronaldo, captain of the national team, and Bernardo Silva, player of Manchester City.
A clip showing two sarcastic smiles from Ronaldo and Silva in response to their teammates in the national team spread quickly on social media.
A video clip showed Fernandes giving tactical advice to his teammates in the tunnel leading to the match before the start of the second half, and Ronaldo and Bruno were listening to the conversation before they turned to each other and smiled sarcastically.

After that, Ronaldo, the Saudi Al-Nasr striker, withdrew with a smile on his face before lowering his head and entering the stadium floor in preparation for the second half.
Portugal was ahead by one goal at that stage, scored by Fernandez himself in the first half, before his teammate Ricardo Horta doubled the lead in the second half, giving Portugal a win by two unanswered goals.
With this victory, coach Roberto Martinez’s squad achieved the full mark with 10 victories, earning 30 points, and qualified for Euro 2024, which Germany will host next year.
Ronaldo, Fernandes’ former teammate at Manchester United, became the second top scorer in the qualifiers with 10 goals, behind Belgian Romelu Lukaku, who scored 14 goals.
