Pepe will never change. During Porto's defeat against Sporting (2-0) on Monday evening, in a stormy context, the Portuguese defender was expelled from the match due to an inappropriate gesture at the start of the second half. The former Real Madrid player, renowned for his sulphurous personality and his excessive violence, hit Lisbon left-back Matheus Reis in the face.
After viewing the VAR, the match referee decided to exclude the Portuguese international (134 caps) who had already collected a yellow card in the first period.
