That's never happened before
Portugal’s Pepe is now the oldest European Championship player
It wasn't just Ronaldo who set a record in Tuesday's match against the Czech Republic, Portugal colleague Pepe also broke a record! At 41 years and 113 days, the tough defender is now the oldest European Championship player.
The Brazilian-born defender has thus replaced former Hertha legend Gabor Kiraly as the oldest European Championship participant.
It's amazing: Pepe was 41 years and 113 days old and therefore over a year older than the Hungarian keeper in his historic appearance to date. Kiraly was 40 years and 86 days old when he last played for the Magyars in the last 16 of Euro 2016 (0:4 against Belgium).
Looking for a club
Unbelievable: Pepe has not had enough yet. After all, he can imagine playing in a fifth World Cup in 2026. However, his contract with FC Porto expired before the EURO and he is now looking for a club.
