Real Madrid hardman Pepe has NOT been booked this season!

The controversial centre-half has emerged as the CLEANEST defender in the La Liga this term.

Pepe has committed 20 fewer fouls than his partner at the heart of the Real Madrid defence, Sergio Ramos, who has also been booked five times.

In comparison, at Barcelona, Javier Mascherano has committed eight fouls and has seen yellow and red once apiece; Gerard Piqué has conceded seven fouls and has four yellow cards.

And for Atletico Madrid, Diego Godín has given away eight fouls and picked up three yellows; while Miranda has fouled seven times and seen four yellows.
