In the past, the aggressive player Pepe, who stood out in the Madrid "Real" team, once again caught the attention of TV operators. In yesterday's UEFA Champions League match, the upset "Porto" player was ready to confront almost the entire Madrid "Atletico" team and received a yellow card. The emotions boiled over in the second half - in the 67th minute, the Spanish club's representative Y. Carrasco was sent off the field, and shortly after, A. Corre and Otavio received yellow cards. Then Pepe couldn't hold back his nerves - he stepped into the crowd of "Atletico" players and exchanged some words with the opponent Mario Hermoso. The meeting ended with a 3:1 victory for the "Atletico" club, which advanced to the knockout stages of the tournament.
