In a conversation with Wayne Rooney, Fernandes recalled celebrating wildly as a youngster when Carragher's spot kick was saved by Ricardo, who also denied Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard in the quarter-final shootout.The Liverpool legend initially converted his penalty but was forced to retake it after failing to wait for the referee's whistle. I had to say this - sorry, Jamie," Fernandes admitted before turning to the camera."I had to get a little bit off you, you get on me all the time.



I can get on you with that penalty."When I miss a penalty, don't say anything about it, please."In 2021, Carragher spoke openly about his own personal anguish after Bukayo Saka, Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford suffering racist abuse for missing penalties in the Euro 2020 final, reports the Manchester Evening News.Jamie Carragher has previously spoken about his penalty miss for England (Image: Getty)Writing in his column for The Telegraph, the former Liverpool centre-back said: "Sven Goran Eriksson summoned me and gave me one job: to dispatch a spot-kick as convincingly as I had in every practise session."I had not missed a penalty in six weeks. 'You'll take the fourth', Eriksson told me. England were 2-1 down by the time I made that 40-yard walk, but I was feeling confident staring at Portugal's No.
