Pepe may find himself surrounded in controversy for some of his on-field antics from time to time, but the Real Madrid defender has shown his kind side off the pitch after buying and handing out food to disadvantaged families.

The Portugal international is believed to have forked out to buy 9,000kg of food recently before then distributing it to 200 families in the Madrid neighborhood of Las Rozas, where he lives.

The idea was to ensure that the disadvantaged families enjoyed their Christmas – and we are sure Pepe’s fantastic festive gesture definitely went some way to doing that.
