A pre-season friendly between Roma and Real Madrid erupted before a ball was kicked when Seydou Keita threw a water bottle at Pepe in Dallas.
It was meant to be a friendly between both teams but I guess both Real Madrird Pepe - king of wind-ups and former Barcelona player Keita didn't get the memo.
Keita refused to shake hands with Pepe then threw a water bottle at him (Pepe) before the match, the two teams were then involved in a stand-off.
Reports from Daily Tackle claims that Kita accused Pepe of calling him a monkey before the first leg of the Spanish Supercopa in 2011. According to the Fox broadcast for the Roma-Real Madrid match, the fourth official said that Pepe spat at Keita at some point during the handshake/water bottle incident.
Despite the seriousness of these accusations, Pepe still managed a smile as the water bottle whizzed past him.
