Spotted: What Pepe told Portugal goalkeeper Rui Patricio before Benzema’s penalty

France and Portugal shared points in a 2-2 draw in their final Euro 2020 Group F clash on Wednesday.

Apparently, the Portuguese side could've won that encounter had Rui Patricio listened to Pepe's advice ahead of Karim Benzema's penalty.

Emerging footage shows the Porto centre-back, who previously spent eight years alongside Benzema at Real Madrid, telling his goalie to dive to the left for the Frenchman's penalty no less than five times before the spot-kick.

The Wolverhampton keeper, however, decided to ignore Pepe's advice diving to the right and thus letting Benzema equalize.

It didn't go well with Pepe who blasted Patricio for ignoring him while Karim was on his way to the stands to celebrate his first goal for Les Bleus since 2015.
