Tennis Legend Andy Murray Takes Another Cheeky Dig at Cristiano Ronaldo and Piers Morgan After Bruno Fernandes’ Double at the FIFA World Cup 2022

Cristiano Ronaldo led Portugal took on Uruguay in the Group H game, knowing the win over Uruguay would guarantee the knockout spot. Uruguay too was desperate for the win. They had drawn their opening game to South Korea.

Bruno Fernandes scored the first goal for Portugal. Fernandes’ goal was the point that resulted in Andy Murray taking a dig at Piers Morgan and Ronaldo. It was not only Murray but the fans on social media too who trolled the Portuguese captain over wrongly claiming the goal.

Bruno Fernandes’ goal claimed by Cristiano Ronaldo

The Group H game was crucial for both teams. After a draw in the first game, Uruguay was desperate for a win to keep their knockout chances alive. Portugal dominated the proceedings, and a brace from Fernandes was sufficient for them to book the spot in the knockouts. On the other hand, Uruguay will have to wait until the last game to know its fate.

It was the 54th-minute goal from Fernandes, which Ronaldo claimed, that made Piers Morgan tweet. Morgan, in his tweet, tagged Ronaldo and appreciated him. Andy Murray was quick to respond to the tweet, as the replay showed there was no touch from Ronaldo.

Murray, taking a dig at Morgan, tweeted, “I think Bruno Fernandes is the Twitter handle you were looking for.”

The hilarious tweet drew some funny reactions from the fans. It was not the first time Murray had done this. Two days back, when Lionel Messi scored a brilliant opener against Mexico, he tweeted tagging Piers Morgan.

Ronaldo’s interview with Morgan is still at the center of attraction. Whenever such things happen around Ronaldo, soccer fans, and sports personalities troll Ronaldo and Morgan together. It looks like the trend will continue for some time.

Portugal joins France and Brazil in the knockouts

The victory against Uruguay saw Portugal qualify for the knockouts. They are the third team with a 100 percent record in this edition of the FIFA World Cup, alongside France and Brazil, who also made it to the knockouts. Portugal is in contention to top Group H if they draw or win against South Korea. Meanwhile, the other three teams in the group will fight for the remaining spot.
