The previous record holder was legendary Italian forward Francesco Totti, who scored a goal for AS Roma in 2014 as a 38-year-old player.

Pepe is also the oldest outfield player to appear in a Champions League match. There have been five players older than Pepe to play in the Champions League, but they have all been goalkeepers.

“This feeling is incredible because anyone who reaches this age playing at this level — representing a big club like Porto — knows it takes a lot of work, a lot of sacrifice, a tremendous passion for this sport. I’ll try to enjoy it as much as possible,” said Pepe after the game.

Pepe scored his goal in stoppage time following a corner kick. Porto previously got the lead thanks to Evanilson converting a penalty kick in the 32nd minute. Antwerp, on the other hand, played with 10 men in for the majority of the second half after midfielder Jurgen Ekkelenkamp was sent off due to a reckless tackle.

Porto is now second in Group H but has the same number of points as leaders Barcelona. The two teams play each other on Matchday 5 later in November.

The French daily sports newspaper L’Equipe stated that the British team is interested in making a deal with Lille for their highly-rated winger Nicolas Pepe, who has already caught the eye of both Arsenal and Manchester United. If the transfer happens, Pepe would bring a fresh breeze to an already great team.

The newspaper claimed that Liverpool is preparing a fantastic offer of 71 million pounds, which is around 90 million US dollars, for Lille’s 23-year-old star.

The up-and-coming player showed the world his immense talents and skills during the last season by scoring a fantastic 23 goals and providing 12 assists, which caught the attention of many important figures in the sport.

Lille’s manager Christophe Galtier had confirmed previously that Pepe was set to leave the team during this summer. When asked about it, Galtier said: “Pepe will leave. Life’s like that, football’s like that today”. He also said that Pepe was a player of the highest level and that he will have a big decision to make when choosing his next club.
