Pepê moved to tears after FC Porto-Vitória, grandmother seriously ill

Pepê was unable to hold back his tears when the final whistle blew at the end of the match between FC Porto and Vitória de Guimarães, an image that left teammates and fans visibly concerned. The player's emotion was not related to the outcome of the game, but to a difficult personal issue: the grandmother of the Portuguese international – with whom he has a very close relationship – is facing a serious illness, as has been learned. Despite this emotionally demanding moment, Pepê was brought on by Francesco Farioli for the second half of the Allianz Cup clash. At the end, in tears, he immediately received the affection and solidarity of his teammates, in a gesture of unity during a particularly delicate time.
