Gaff,dont want to be a stickler for details, but Pepe is a central defender for Real, not a striker..
Sanjay,
Good catch. I’ve made the edit in the article. With a strike like that, maybe he should change to being a striker? ; )
Cheers,
The Gaffer
he got lucky. the strike wasn’t that great. but him being brazilian i wouldn’t be surprised if he could play anywhere on the pitch.
