What happened between Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes after Portugal goal vs Ghana

Bruno Fernandes didn't join international teammate Cristiano Ronaldo in the celebration huddle after he scored Portugal's opening goal against Ghana on Thursday night. It came in their World Cup group opener, with the opposition proving a hard side to break down in the first hour.

Ronaldo had plenty of chances, but failed to take any until he was put through on goal and brought down just after 60 minutes into the game. The referee pointed to the spot and the 37-year-old stepped up to take the spot kick, despite Fernandes also having a record from the spot.

The whole team rushed over to celebrate with the goal scorer, but Fernandes was the odd one out as he didn't join in the huddle, instead choosing to celebrate from the outside. It comes after questions rose over the pair's friendship after Ronaldo saw his contract at Manchester United terminated by mutual consent.
