VIDEO: Pepe damn near kills himself while attempting simplest piece of skill

He needs to stop hanging around Ronaldo

Darragh Murphy

Pepe? Oh yeah, he’s a winger with blistering pace and skills for days isn’t he?

Oh wait, no, he’s a lumbering centre-half, that’s right.

Some lovely girls must have been in the vicinity because the Real Madrid firecracker attempted to show off a bit of skill that he didn’t have up his sleeve in Real Madrid training today.

Manager Carlo Ancelotti will not be too happy with the attempted flick because Pepe very nearly injured himself in the process.

What doesn’t help matters is that Ronaldo pulls off the exact trick not one second later and manages not to make an absolute fool of himself.

It makes us feel an awful lot better about ourselves this Friday that we have much more grace than a professional footballer.
