Barcelona beat Sweden 5-2 on Thursday night, and Bruno Fernandes, captain of Manchester United, played the whole game.

The game took place at Estádio D. Afonso Henriques. It was a friendly match so that national teams in Europe could get better ready for Euro 2024 in the summer.

Fernandes started in the middle of the field with Matheus Nunes of Manchester City and Joao Palhinha of Fulham.

The United captain scored a goal and set up another one.

Nelson Semedo gave him the ball perfectly, with the goalie already out of position, and all he had to do to score was tap it into an empty net.

The Selecao went ahead by three goals just before halftime thanks to a goal from Fernandes.

His next action was to set up Bruma’s goal in the 57th minute after the break.

The player touched the ball 73 times while playing for his country. He tried to find his teammates with 59 passes and was successful 49 times, for an 83% pass completion rate. He made two important passes.

There were six long balls and four crosses that Fernandes tried to hit. Three of his efforts at the long ball went to the right place. He only made one good cross.

He set up a big chance.

It took the 29-year-old player one move to finish. There were five ground fights between him, and he won three of them.

He cleared the ball once and made twice as many stops.

These numbers come from Sofascore.

Fernandes will likely want to continue where he left off when Portugal plays Slovenia in a friendly match on Tuesday.
