Juanfran revealed how the Portuguese defender mocked his Granotes team-mates after their 2-1 to the Spanish champions.
The 36-year-old former Spain international told Punto Pelota: "Before I got into the dressing room I saw Pepe coming from the field dancing, laughing and mocking us.
"Later, he came into the dressing room when the door was open and did the same thing.
"The whole world saw it. The security staff, the police, his team, our team. That is 100% true.
"The police and stadium security came, separated us and got into the changing rooms."
A Los Merengues statement, though, contradicted Juanfran's version of events.
It read: "At the end of the game, the attitude and behaviour of the players, coaches and members of the travelling party were at all times correct and blameless.
"Real Madrid reject the suggestion of alleged provocation from our player Pepe to the local team.
"The Real Madrid player displayed an exemplary attitude as did the rest of his team-mates.
"This club will always defend the values of sportsmanship and respect that must prevail in the world of sport."
