In this Euro Cup, Cristiano Ronaldo might be the most prominent figure in the Portuguese squad, currently holding several Euro records and poised to extend them. However, Pepe’s return to the tournament could see the veteran defender set even more astonishing records.
At 41 years old, Pepe is on track to establish multiple age-related milestones, which include:
One, oldest goalscorer, a record currently held by Ivica Olić, who scored at 38 years and 257 days during the 2008 Euros.
Two, oldest goalscorer in a final, a mark set by Leonardo Bonucci at 34 years and 71 days in the 2020 Euro.
Three, oldest outfield player, a record set by Lothar Matthäus at 39 years and 91 days in the 2000 FIFA World Cup – this is the record that Pepe has the best chance of breaking.
Four, oldest player in a Euro final, previously held by Jens Lehmann, who played in the 2008 final at 38 years and 232 days.
Five, oldest player to win the Euro title, a record set by Arnold Mühren, who was 27 years and 23 days old when he won the 1988 Euros.
