Seydou Keita refuses to shake hand with Pepe, throws water bottle at him before friendly

The preseason friendly between Roma and Real Madrid in Dallas, Texas brought back the ghost of Clasicos past when former Barcelona player Seydou Keita refused to shake hands with Pepe and then threw a water bottle at his head before the match. This prompted a stand-off between the two teams, but after a bit of discussion between Keita and Xabi Alonso, the match went ahead.

Keita accused Pepe of calling him a monkey during the first leg of the Spanish Supercopa in 2011. Despite the seriousness of this accusation, Pepe still managed a smile as the water bottle whizzed past him. But that's because at this point in his career of violence and misdeeds he must be used to it.
