Pepe's Bloody Head Wound Stapled Shut In Real Madrid's Champions League Game (VIDEO/GIF)

GROSS! Real Madrid Star Has Head WoundShut During Game

This is why Real Madrid has a stapler on the sideline.

Pepe opened a gash near his left eye during a head-to-head collision with Daniel Braaten of Copenhagen in a Champions League match on Wednesday night. With blood seeping from the cut as he lay on the grass at the Bernabeu, the defender was attended to by a team trainer.

Madrid held a slim 1-0 lead by way of Cristiano Ronaldo at the time of the Pepe-Braaten clash in the 38th minute of the first half. Rather than remove Pepe from the game for stitches, a trainer merely stapled the wound closed ... with a stapler.

Ronaldo would add another goal as Madrid went on to win 4-0.
