Pepe and Fabio Coentrão take the fight to Neymar in the Copa del Rey

1:00 AM

Real Madrid and Barcelona squared off in their 228th meeting in history, this time of the Copa del Rey trophy and Real Madrid defenders, Pepe and Fabio Coentrão made certain that they disarmed one of Barcelona’s most dangerous weapons, Neymar, in the first half.Throughout the first half, Pepe and Coentrão were both seen aggressively defending the 22-year-old, which led to the players mouthing off to one another, forcing referee Mateu Lahoz to give both Neymar and Coentrão a yellow card in the 17th minute, in order to try an restore order.Expect more of the same in the second half, as a cardless Pepe will look to continue pressuring and getting into the head of the Brazilian winger.
