The seasoned Portuguese general inspired admiration for his physical prowess.

Portuguese fighter Pepe lost against France on penalties, and he cried.

Among the top players for Portugal in this year’s EURO is the former Real Madrid player. Pepe would therefore undoubtedly feel sorrow after making a lot of efforts but not getting the desired outcomes.

Pepe presents the French national team’s top players with the ultimate test. He was still prepared to race Marcus Thuram to save the home team right up until the very last second.

The incident happened after France quickly counterattacked after stealing the ball in their own half.

Thuram was expected to win the quick race since Pepe, who turned 41 this year, had to participate in every Portugal match since the group stage.

But Pepe prevented that from occurring. Up until his own half, he closely trailed his opponent.

Thuram persisted in using his quickness to enter the penalty area.

In this instance, Pepe was overcome by the Inter Milan player.

He didn’t appear to anticipate that Pepe would pursue him before making a tackle, though, which cost the French squad a chance.

Pepe, forty-one, utterly demolished a Thuram, twenty-six, in the height of his powers. Pepe demonstrated not only experience but also a solid physical base. Fans won’t be saddened if this name isn’t spoken in the EURO semi-finals this year.
