Bruno Fernandes, who plays for Manchester United, helped Portugal win the Nations League final against Spain.
It was a tough game that went into extra time and then penalties.
Portugal’s goalkeeper, Diogo Costa, made a big save, and Ruben Neves scored the winning penalty.
Nuno Mendes also played very well, helping Portugal stay strong.
After the game, Bruno said Portugal worked hard and believed they could beat Spain.
“Everything we did during the game helped us win. We knew we were going up against a great team, and at the same time we knew we were a team of the same level,” said Fernandes, via Abola.
He praised Mendes, Costa, and Neves for their important roles in the victory.
“Then we had individual talent on our side, such as Nuno [Mendes], our left-sided player, who ended up running over everyone and ended up giving us two moments of great joy, with his runs.”
“Individual talent is what makes you win the game, like Diogo Costa ’s save and Rúben Neves’ penalty.”
Bruno also compared Portugal to Manchester United, saying Portugal has more talented players right now.
He hopes United can bring in new players to help the team do better, like Matheus Cunha and maybe Bryan Mbeumo.
In other news, another player United wants to sign, Viktor Gyökeres, said no to a big-money offer from Saudi club Al-Hilal.
