Portugal’s captain, Cristiano Ronaldo, has expressed deep emotions following the retirement of his longtime teammate, Pepe, who announced his decision on Thursday at the age of 41. Pepe’s final match was in Euro 2024, where Portugal fell to France in the quarter-finals.
Ronaldo took to X to share his feelings: “There are not enough words to express how much you mean to me, friend. We won everything on the field, but the greatest achievement is our friendship and respect. You are unique, my brother. Thank you so much.”
