Gary Lineker's blunt two-tweet assessment of Pepe perfectly sums up what pretty much everyone was thinking

Let's be clear, we'd never go as far as suggesting that a professional footballer would bend the rules to try and gain an advantage. It's just not fair.

But when it comes to a certain Real Madrid defender, it seems plenty of people are quite happy to point the finger... https://twitter.com/piersmorgan/status/736669187389718528 https://twitter.com/efctoffee83/status/736673718240481280 https://twitter.com/The_Last_16/status/736672912019759104 Yes, it's safe to say behaviour of Portuguese defender Pepe didn't go down too well with those that watched him and his Real Madrid teammates win the club's 11th European Cup on Saturday night.

With the match finishing in penalties, Juanfran missed Atleti's fourth spot-kick, leaving Cristiano Ronaldo to win the match. After a relatively quiet match by his own standards, Ronaldo was never going to miss.
