However, Pepe – speaking ahead of the last-16 clash with Slovenia – believes his team-mate will soon find his goalscoring form again.

“Cristiano lives for goals, that’s true. But have you seen him ready to play to help the national team? It’s unbelievable. Ronaldo is the player with the most minutes on the field in our team , at the age of 39. He is doing very well. Ronaldo will play well in the final stages of Euro 2024. I am sure he will bring the whole team a lot of joy.”Pepe and Ronaldo lifted the Euro 2016 championship trophy and became the oldest player in the tournament’s history when appearing in Germany at the age of 41. Continuing the football meeting, this veteran midfielder said:

“I’m happy to be part of the team, it’s a privilege. The secret is my passion for football. Obviously I’ve said many times what a privilege it is to be able to get up and do what I love the most, with high concentration and competitiveness, that’s what I have. The love I put into every action, in training as well as in the match.
