Bruno Fernandes Named New Portugal Captain Amid Ronaldo Exit
Bruno Fernandes has officially taken over as the captain of the Portugal national team, succeeding Cristiano Ronaldo.

Fernandes, a playmaker for Manchester United, will lead the team in their UEFA Nations League match against Denmark. Additionally, Rafael Leao has been assigned Ronaldo's iconic no.7 shirt following the latter's exit.
