While Pepe spoke ill of Messi, what Bernardo Silva said about Julián Álvarez in Qatar

While the Argentine team focuses on what will be the World Cup semifinal in Qatar against Croatia, Portugal said goodbye to the tournament and Pepe, defender of the European team, blamed Lionel Messi for the Portuguese elimination. While the defender was not self-critical, Bernardo Silva praised Julián Álvarez, who is his teammate at Manchester City.

After Portugal's failure in Qatar, where they could barely reach the quarterfinals and were eliminated by the surprising Morocco, Pepe vented his frustration and criticized Facundo Tello's refereeing, who had nothing to do with the development of the commitment. In addition, he suggested that the Cup was fixed for Argentina due to the claims made by Lionel Messi.
