Fans of the old Portuguese general admired how strong he was.

Pepe, a Portuguese hero, cried after his team lost to France on penalties.

Our team’s best player in this year’s EURO is the former star player for Real Madrid. So, Pepe will definitely feel bad after putting in a lot of work and not getting the results he wanted.

Pepe gives the stars of the French national team the toughest test possible. He was still ready to race with Marcus Thuram right up until the last second to save the home team.

The situation took place after France stole the ball in their own half and launched a quick counterattack.

It was thought that Thuram would easily win the fast race since Pepe is 41 years old this year and has had to play in all of Portugal’s games since the group stage.

Pepe, though, wouldn’t let that happen. He kept a close eye on his opponent until he got to his own half.

Thuram kept relying on his speed to get into the penalty area.

In this case, the Inter Milan player beat Pepe.

He didn’t seem to think that Pepe would chase him down before tackling him, though, which cost the French team a chance.

Pepe, who was 41 years old at the time, really beat Thuram, who was only 26 and at the top of his game. Pepe showed not only that he had knowledge, but also that he was physically strong. Because of this, fans won’t be upset if this name isn’t in this year’s EURO semi-finals.
