Ex-Madrid defender Pepe loses it, clashes with teammate during victory celebration

Years go by and Pepe stays the same. This time, the former Real Madrid star ended up in the news after clashing with his teammate Mamadou Loum following Porto's 1-0 win over Farense.

Here's what it happened

Pepe and Loum went for a hug

Then Loum said something the Porto captain didn't like, and the Portuguese shoved the youngster

The referee and their teammates had to intervene to separate the two

Afterwards, Porto's coach Sergio Conceicao said that the issue had been resolved.

"There is nothing to explain, these are normal things in football," he said, as quoted by The Suna.

"It happens when players from the same team have a different opinion. It was that moment of disagreement. In addition, we are talking about a team with character and personality and this is clear to see. Everything is resolved."

The Senegal international later apologized for the incident.

"I would like to apologise to all fans of FC Porto for the unfortunate incident that occurred tonight," Loum tweeted.

"This should never have happen. Pepe is [like] an older brother and I learn a lot from him. Sometimes the desire to win in a game causes some unfortunate things to happen.

"I have always been a model of discipline and devotion to the club and I intend to keep it that way."
