Pepe says that appointing an Argentine referee for Portugal's match against Morocco is a scheme in favor of Messi

The defender of the Portuguese national team Pepe spoke out on the results of the quarterfinal match of World Cup 2022 against Morocco (0-1).

The 39-year-old veteran saw conspiracy in the appointment of Argentine referee Facundo Tello for this game.

Pepe in the post-match flash interview
It is unacceptable for an Argentine referee to officiate today after what happened yesterday, after Messi's complaints. After what I saw today, now they can give the title to Argentina. In the second half, the only team that wanted to play football was ours. We had what it takes to win the World Cup, but it didn't happen.

At the World Cup in Qatar, the Portuguese team finished first in Group H and defeated Switzerland 6-1 in the last 16.
