This Monday, the 20th anniversary of the Portugal-England match at Euro 2004, goalkeeper Diogo Costa was the representative of the national team. That game against the English was made famous by a penalty saved by Ricardo (then Portugal goalkeeper) without gloves in a tiebreaker with the score 2:2 in the 120th minute.
Diogo Costa also defended Pepe’s continued career at 41. “He more than proved against Turkey that he is ready to continue playing at the highest level.”
The current gate holder was faced with the opportunity to imitate this gesture. “We haven’t talked about this yet. It is always an honor to share unique moments with Ricardo. [atualmente na equipa técnica ]. Always give me any advice on how to save on fines. But I think it will always be with gloves,” he replied with a smile.
