Manchester United legend, Roy Keane has blamed Joao Felix and Bruno Fernandes for Portugal’s exit from the ongoing Euro 2023 on Sunday night.
Portugal was eliminated from the European Championship against Belgium in Seville, following a first-half goal from Thorgan Hazard.
There were plenty of chances for Portugal to equalize against Belgium, but Felix and Fernandes both missed their opportunities to score for Fernando Santos’s side.

“I get really annoyed with it, particularly when they are quality players,” Keane said on ITV.
“There is no excuse for it, seeing players leaning back and just missing the target, at least test the goalkeeper, these are top players no getting away from that.
“Felix, when he came on, that guy was an imposter, he is an imposter.
“He comes on, your country needs you…hit the target! What was he? £100m? If I was Ronaldo, I would certainly be going after him in the dressing room. Shocking.
“Felix and Fernandes were driving me crazy.
“They have no one to blame but themselves, they fought like champions, to be fair, but Portugal just fell short.”
