Portuguese Porto defender, Kepler Laveran "Pepe," has inscribed his name in large, golden letters in the history of the UEFA Champions League by scoring a goal for his team against the Belgian side Royal Antwerp. Pepe contributed to Porto's victory over the Belgian team (2-0) by netting the second security goal in the dying moments of the match, which took place last Tuesday night, as part of the fourth round of the Champions League group stage.
According to the "Squawka" statistics network, Pepe has become the oldest player in Champions League history to score a goal in the competition at the age of 40 years and 254 days. He has broken the record previously held by the legendary Francesco Totti, the former star of AS Roma and the Italian national team.
Totti, the "Emperor" of Rome, scored a goal against CSKA Moscow in 2014 when he was 38 years and 59 days old.
