Ex-footballer Ze Roberto has carved out a tremendous physique for himself despite it being 26 years since he lifted the Champions League trophy.
The 49-year-old celebrates his 50th birthday in just over a month. But you wouldn't think so if you took a peek at his unbelievably ripped body that he's worked on since his hanging up his boots in 2017.
The ex-Brazil international enjoyed stints at Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, winning the Champions League with the former back in 1998 before he embarked on an eight-year stint in Germany. That also included a four-year tenure with Bayer Leverkusen and four Bundesliga titles during his time in Munich.
After calling time on his career as a 43-year-old in 2017, the Brazilian has certainly undergone a transformation from his usually lean figure on the football field to a now impressively ripped physique that is a major fixture on his social media.
Alongside his role as a technical advisor to former club Palmeiras, Roberto is also a personal trainer as he revealed why he was able to enjoy a 23-year career in football. He told local media in the past: "I have no vices. I don’t drink alcoholic beverages, I don’t smoke, I eat very well, I sleep well.

"I have my family, which is my greatest security. I think those are important factors to reach the age I reached and still continue playing at a high level."

The Sao Paulo native claimed: "Today I would say that I have a better physique [than Ronaldo], because I played until I was 43-years-old," when speaking to TyC Sports.
"If he (Ronaldo) does [play until then], I will say it is him." Given the Portuguese's performances out in Saudi Arabia, it doesn't appear he'll be retiring any time soon.

"I sometimes eat up to six smaller meals a day to make sure I have enough energy to perform each session at top level."
