Bruno Miguel Borges Fernandes (born 8 September 1994) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Primeira Liga club Sporting CP and the Portugal national team as a midfielder. Fernandes started his career at Serie B side Novara Calcio and soon featured for Udinese and Sampdoria in Serie A.
In 2017, he signed with Sporting CP where he established himself as one of the best players in the Primeira Liga. He was named the LPFP Primeira Liga Player of the Year in both 2017–18 and 2018–19. In the latter season, he also helped Sporting win the Taça de Portugal. A senior international since 2017, Fernandes represented Portugal at the 2016 Summer Olympics and 2018 FIFA World Cup.

"I say to them every time I pass to them, they never score. "They never give me assists.
You see again that Anto missed that chance against Leeds. Straight away, I looked at him and started smiling. He understands what I mean by that." Fernandes insisted the mickey-taking dynamic was "positive", and that trying to prove their team-mates wrong helped motivate the players.
