Portugal icon Pepe ends his soccer career
Defensive warhorse Pepe declared the end of his career as a professional footballer on Thursday.
The 41-year-old had played for Portugal's national team since 2007, with whom he won the European Championship title in 2016. The Brazilian-born player defended 141 times for the "Selecao". He played his last games at the European Championships in Germany, where the Iberians were eliminated by France in the quarter-finals on penalties. Pepe celebrated his greatest successes at club level with Real Madrid.
In his ten years at the club, he enjoyed three Champions League triumphs with the Madrilenians and also won the Spanish championship three times. Since 2019, Pepe has played for FC Porto again, for whom he previously played from 2004 to 2007.
