Portuguese football star, Bruno Fernandes has joined his compatriot, Pepe, in criticizing the choice of an Argentine referee officiating their quarterfinal match against Morocco.
Morocco progressed to the semi-final of the 2022 World Cup after defeating Portugal 1-0 in the match played on Saturday, December 10.
However, reacting to the defeat, Bruno Fernandes said it is strange having an Argentine referee officiate their match while his country (Argentina) is still in the tournament.
He said;

“I’ll say what I have to say. F*ck them… I have to say that it is very strange to have a referee refereeing us from a country [Argentina] that still has its team in the competition and we don’t have Portuguese referees in the World Cup. Ours referee the Champions League, so they have the quality and level to be here. These officials don’t referee in the Champions League, they’re not used to this type of game, they don’t have the pace for it. They clearly tilted the field.
“In the first half there is a clear penalty on me, without a doubt any, because I am isolated and never in my life let myself fall, when I was alone with the goalkeeper and could shoot at the goal. As simple as that.”
