Bruno Fernandes, a Portuguese professional footballer, has welcomed the arrival of his second child — a baby boy — with Ana Pinho, his wife.

The Manchester United star, 25, broke the news on his Instagram page, where he shared two photos of the infant crying in his mother’s arms as the family all cuddled in the labour room.

He says –

Dia 6 de setembro de 2020, quando muitos pensavam que ao término do jogo da seleção Bruno Fernandes não tinha feito golo enganam-se! Faz hoje 38 semanas e 6 dias que dei um dos pontapés para golo mais importantes da minha vida, como eu gosto e com uma distância de quase 9 meses ansioso por ver a bola a balançar a rede 🙌🏼
Quando terminou o jogo muitos de vocês já diziam que não tinha feito golo mas enganavam-se porque apesar do apito final um dos dois melhores pontapés que dei na carreira estava prestes a entrar, mas não sem antes o delegado chamar-me para o antidoping logo após o jogo 🤨 passados esses momentos e algumas horas eis que a bola entra ou neste caso concreto sai 😂 Gonçalo de Pinho Fernandes decide que é hora do seu pai fazer o segundo golo mais importante na sua vida! E assim às 00:39 de dia 6 de setembro a minha mulher @anaapinho_ mais uma vez fez a nossa vida ganhar ainda mais vida 🤩🙌🏼❤️

“September 6, 2020, many thought that at the end of the national team game, Bruno Fernandes had not scored a goal. Today, 38 weeks and 6 days ago, I kicked the most important goal of my life, with a distance of almost 9 months, anxious to see the ball swing the net,” he wrote in Portuguese.

“When the game ended, many of you already said that I had not scored a goal but were mistaken because despite the final whistle, one of the two best kicks I gave in my career was about to enter.

“But not without the delegate calling me for anti-doping soon after the game esses those moments and a few hours later, the ball goes in or in this specific case it goes out.

“Gonçalo de Pinho Fernandes decides it’s time for his father to score the second most important goal in his life! And so at 00:39 on the 6th of September, my wife made our lives come to life more.”

The couple welcomed their bundle of joy around 12:30am on Sunday — barely four hours after Portugal’s 4-1 win against Croatia at the Estadio do Dragao.

In 2017, Ana gave birth to the couple’s first child — a daughter called Matilde.
