Pepe scored the final score in injury time in Porto’s 2-0 home win against Royal Antwerp. At 40 years and 254 days, the Portuguese was older than any footballer in the Champions League before him. He replaced Francesco Totti. The Italian scored for AS Roma in the Champions League in 2014 at the age of 38 years and 59 days.
Pepe intended to score the goal – for his mother. “Today is a special day for me. It’s my mother’s birthday and I told her I would do everything I could to score a goal,” said the central defender, who played for Real Madrid for ten years during his career and became European champion with Portugal in 2016.
“The feeling is indescribable because anyone who plays at this level at this age – and for a big club like Porto – knows that it takes a lot of work, a lot of sacrifices and a huge passion for this sport,” said Pepe. (SDA)
