2026 World Cup: Pepe Reunites with Old Acquaintances (Photos)

Pepe watched Portugal's draw with Colombia from Miami. The Seleção finished second in their group, setting up a Round of 16 clash against Croatia at the 2026 World Cup. On Sunday, the former FC Porto and Portugal international shared photos with some familiar faces.

Among those reunited were Luis Díaz, a former teammate of Pepe's at FC Porto, and James Rodríguez, with whom he played at Real Madrid. Both Colombian internationals started in the goalless draw against Portugal. Speaking to RTP, James Rodríguez expressed his affection for FC Porto. "Villas-Boas? I haven't spoken to him, but it's a club I love very much. I'm a 'Portista'. I experienced unique times there and won everything. It's a club I hold in my heart; my daughter was born there, those are good memories," he stated.

Pepe also shared photos with Rodrygo, current Real Madrid forward, Nuno Gomes, and Teófilo Cubillas, who also previously played for FC Porto.
