"Fernandes, who spent three seasons at Sporting before joining Manchester United in January 2020, is known to mark scoring a goal by elaborately making that same gesture in an apparent signal to show how he shuts out the external noise that surrounds him."
"Sweeney was in the capital city of Lisbon on Friday to see hosts Sporting beat Estoril 3-0, a win that keeps them in touch with Portuguese Primeira Liga leaders FC Porto."
"The star of "The White Lotus" and "Euphoria" got a memento from her visit to the Estadio José Alvalade in the form of a jersey with "Sydney" on the back, and on the pitch after the match she also got to meet Jubas, the club's giant lion mascot."
Sydney Sweeney, star of "The White Lotus" and "Euphoria," attended Sporting CP's match against Estoril in Lisbon on Friday, where the home team won 3-0 to remain competitive in the Portuguese Primeira Liga. Sweeney received a jersey with her name and met Jubas, the club's lion mascot. During her pitch visit, she attempted a shot on goal and subsequently appeared to replicate Bruno Fernandes' famous celebration gesture—covering her ears with her hands. Fernandes, who played for Sporting before joining Manchester United in 2020, uses this celebration to symbolize blocking out external noise. Sporting remains four points behind league leaders FC Porto ahead of their upcoming top-of-the-table clash on Tuesday.
