Fernandes does not have the best reputation among opposing fans for his on-field antics.
However, Souza told Globo Esporte: “Bruno Fernandes was great. He asked for my shirt. I was like, ‘Bloody hell, why do you want mine?’ (laughs).
“Then I took his shirt, even brought it home, left it with my mum and dad, and it was a player who is also super special in the Premier League.
“He’s been playing at a high level for a long time, and it was nice to face him too, even if it was more on my side. He wished me good luck so I could keep going. I said good luck and shook his hand.”
