Real Madrid vs Man Utd: 6 Things We Expect To See

By Joe Jessup /

5. Pepe To Get Sent Off

Pepe is a fantastic player, a real stalwart of a defender who also has a menacing presence in the opposition box. Despite all of his qualities, his temper is more than unstable and occasionally, he loses it in big games - think back to Barcelona in 2011, or the Getafe game where he received a whopping ten-match ban. When Real are struggling and inviting pressure, Pepe€™s temperament comes in to question. Man Utd will undoubtedly enjoy spells of dominance in the tie, such is their style of football of late. When United begin a decent spell of being on top, Pepe may well take matters in to his own hands, leading to a moment of madness. it's important to remember that he also has a small history with Wayne Rooney from his Porto days, and Wazza is not a player one would like to anger too much.
