The Spanish Supreme Court has rejected Real Madrid's demand for €6 million [£5.2m] in compensation over a video broadcast by Catalan television depicting Pepe as Hannibal Lecter.

The video, shown in 2013 by Televisio de Catalanya, also known as TV3, a channel from the Spanish region that homes Barcelona, combines clips of Real Madrid players committing fouls on Lionel Messi with National Geographic documentary footage of hyenas hunting.

It concludes with defender Pepe as Lecter, the cannibal from Anthony Hopkins' film Silence of the Lambs.
