In the UEFA Nations League semifinal between Germany and Portugal, held on Wednesday, June 4, an unpleasant incident involving Fernandes unfolded.

Details: Late in the first half, Portugal's midfielder was chasing the ball, as was Germany's Florian Wirtz. As a result, the Bundesteam player stepped on his opponent's foot.

The situation looked painful, but Wirtz escaped any punishment—the referee did not show him either a yellow or a red card. This decision sparked frustration among the Portuguese players.

Incidentally, this wasn't the only controversial moment of the match—there was also another debated episode in Portugal’s penalty area.

Reminder: The match kicked off with a ten-minute delay due to the weather—hail began falling just before the scheduled start, prompting officials to briefly postpone the kickoff.
