Portugal's opening World Cup match ended in an unexpected 1-1 stalemate against the Democratic Republic of Congo. Post-game, several Portuguese players were bombarded with criticism on social media, with their spouses also caught in the crossfire. On June 20 Beijing time, after João Neves' girlfriend, it was B费's wife, Ana Pinho, whose social media was taken over by fans.

B费's wife last updated her social media five days ago, sharing selfies and family photos. Following Portugal's match, a flood of fans swarmed that post, spamming images of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Fans flocked to B费's wife's comment section to accuse him of not passing to CR7 in the opening game: "Tell your husband not to envy CR7, pass the ball forward, and stop complaining the whole match!"; "Tell your man to pass the ball to Cristiano!"; "Tell your husband not to be selfish—play like he does at United and create more chances!"; "Bruno has always been jealous of CR7, jealous of the GOAT's achievements. It was obvious even during his United days. How shameful. The stats don't lie!"


"It was CR7 who showed your husband the dream of becoming a professional footballer. Before CR7, Portugal had never won a major tournament; now they hold three trophies."; "Before CR7 followed B费 on social media, B费 was nowhere near as famous as he is now."
Some fans even urged B费 to immediately withdraw from the national team: "Please tell B费 to retire from Portugal after this tournament—he's so arrogant it's unbelievable"; "Tell Bruno to respect Portugal's all-time best, and respect the best in football history!"

In the first match, both B费 and CR7 played the full 90 minutes. The two lacked chemistry on the pitch, and in the second half, CR7 even snatched a shot away from B费, denying him a clear scoring chance. At that moment, B费 helplessly threw his hands up, crouched down, and showed his frustration.
