  • Pepe.

    A world class performance from the Portugal defender who has now won the Champions League and European Championship in one season.

    His refusal to yield all evening epitomised the resilience of this Portuguese side. Yes, he is hardly the most popular player on the planet, but he is arguably one of its best defenders.

    A career defining game for the Real Madrid man, who was completely dependable and utterly solid when he needed to be.

    Quite simply, he’s been an animal throughout this entire tournament and a lot of the plaudits should be directed to him.
