Real Madrid's Kepler Laveran Lima Ferreira: Produces at both ends Saturday versus Osasuna

Pepe won three tackles, secured three interceptions and scored a goal on two shot attempts during Saturday's 5-2 win over Osasuna.

Analysis:

Pepe was his usual aggressive self in the defensive end Saturday despite making his first league appearance of the season, and he even managed his first goal of the campaign by nodding home a Toni Kroos corner kick to give his side a four-goal lead. Pepe appears to have achieved full fitness after a summer filled with international obligations, and he should be back in the first XI for Wednesday's Champions League group stage opener versus Sporting Lisbon.
