Lisbon: Bruno Fernandes claimed that he had scored one of the ‘most important goals’ of his life after his wife gave birth to their second child — a baby boy on Sunday (September 6). The Manchester United star had an evening to remember as he played all 90 minutes and assisted Portugal to hammer Croatia 4-1, before rushing to the hospital to be by his wife’s side.
Ana gave birth to a baby boy at around 12:30 am (September 6) morning, just four hours after Portugal had won at the Estadio do Dragao.
It was not just an ordinary journey for the United ace to be regardless of the hospital, as Fernandes revealed an anti-doping test hindered his exit from the stadium. Disclosing his and Ana’s happiness for their second child, after three-year-old Matilde, Fernandes had written that it was ‘second most important goal’ in an Instagram post.
Just beside a snap of Ana, the baby, and himself, he wrote: “September 6, 2020, when many thought at the end of the national team’s game that Bruno Fernandes had not scored a goal they were wrong!
“Today, 38 weeks and 6 days ago, I scored one of the most important goals of my life and had to wait for a distance of almost 9 months, anxious to see the ball hit the back of the net. When the game was over many of you said ‘you didn’t score a goal’, but you were wrong because, despite the final whistle, one of the two best shots I ever took in my career was about to go in, but not without the delegate calling me for anti-doping right after the game.
“After those moments plus a few hours, behold! the ball went in – or in this specific case, Gonçalo de Pinho Fernandes decided it was time for his father to score the second important goal in his life. And so at 00:39 on the 6th of September my wife, Ana Pinho once again made our life gain even more life,” read his long Instagram caption.
