In a gloomy mood after finishing the derby of Madrid city, the Madrid "Real" team received even worse news - during the match, defender Pepe collided with a teammate and will not be able to finish the season due to injuries. In the Madrid derby, where Antoine Griezmann equalized at the end of the match with a 1-1 score, Pepe collided with Toni Kroos in the 67th minute and could not continue the match due to pain. The only scorer of "Real" Pepe was taken to the hospital during the match, where it was revealed after examinations that the defender had broken two ribs. This undoubtedly means the end of this season for him. For Zinedine Zidane and the whole "Real" team, this is a big loss - currently, the "whites" are already dealing with the absence of Raphael Varane who dropped out of the lineup a month ago. So after Pepe's loss, there are only two healthy center-backs left - Sergio Ramos and Nacho. "Real" without the experience of Pepe will have to cope in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal match against Bayern Munich on Wednesday. Furthermore, the 34-year-old defender most likely played his last match for the "Real" club - his contract with the club ends this summer.
