After some time, Bruno Fernandes’ daughter picked up on it and started imitating her parents, which then prompted the midfielder to choose that as his goal-scoring celebration. He later joked that he plans to talk to Sky Sports, as every time he does the celebration it is never captured properly, which makes his daughter tell him he didn’t do the celebration. Bruno Fernandes then discussed how he sometimes sends pictures of his celebrations to her, to prove that he did indeed do the adorable celebration.
