'Unreal monster' Pepe (38) verovert voetbalharten na heldenrol tijdens Porto-stunt
Juventus had zijn hoop op Cristiano Ronaldo gevestigd, maar het was een andere Portugees op leeftijd die de show stal dinsdagavond: Pepe speelde een dijk van een wedstrijd tegen Juventus en groeide met zijn spectaculaire reddingsacties uit tot grote uitblinker van stuntploeg FC Porto. En de beste man is 38...
De bewondering op social media was dan ook groot:

38 year old Pepe scissor kicking the ball away, last kick of the game in the middle of a packed penalty area sums him up.

That was an absolutely unreal defensive performance from him. Played 120 minutes and captained his team to the next round. 😳👠pic.twitter.com/J5dqbYxAmO

The definition of a battle axe. Pepe was absolutely immense. At 38 the man was still clearing the ball in the box, after 123 minutes with a bicycle kick clearance. 🙌ðŸÂ¾👀💪ðŸÂ¾🔥#JUVPOR pic.twitter.com/LbljrNEbu6
