After triumph in the Euros with Portugal and a man of the match performance in the final, Pepe heads into his tenth season with Real Madrid. Since arriving in Spain in the summer of 2007 he has played in 316 official matches, during which time he's won all there is to win with the Whites: 2 Champions Leagues, 1 Club World Cup, 2 European Super Cups, 2 La Liga titles, 2 Copa del Rey trophies and 2 Spanish Super Cups.



A leader both on and off the pitch, the Portuguese centre back has long brought reassurance and character to the Whites' back line, while his aerial dominance has also seen him contribute in terms of goals. His current tally as a madridista stands at 12, having scored for the last five seasons in a row.



“I thank God for the chance to wear this shirt, and to all of you for your constant support because together we are stronger”, he said at the party to celebrate la Undécima before a packed-out Bernabéu crowd. Now, the reigning champion of Europe both with club and country will be looking to continue his success in his tenth season with Real Madrid.
