Pepe, 39, scored twice during the quarter-final against Morocco.
Not only that Portugal was knocked out of the World Cup.
He also played centre-back with a broken arm.
Portugal’s World Cup dreams were shattered on Saturday. Morocco won 1-0 in the quarter-finals after Youssef En-Nesiri’s goal in the first half.
Cristiano Ronaldo left the stadium crying, and then the Portuguese was angry at the referee’s actions.
– Bruno Fernandes said, among other things, that it is very strange that a referee from a country (Argentina) still in the tournament is allowed to judge us.
Bibi broke his arm
Also annoyed by the referee is 39-year-old defender Pepe.
– After what I saw today, they may already give Argentina the title now, he said.
The former Real Madrid star also had a very heavy night – when he was forced to end the match with a broken arm.
Bandaged himself
Pepe was injured during the quarter-finals, and with a few minutes left in the game, he ran to the bench. Once there, he was given a bandage, which he wrapped during the match.
When the centre-back missed a golden header at the end, he grabbed the bandage and felt the pain.
There was no change at all and therefore Pepe played more than 98 minutes.
The Portuguese Football Federation confirmed on its website that the 39-year-old had fractured his left arm. This was established after an examination in a hospital in Doha.
