Al Nassr striker, Cristiano Ronaldo, is widely considered to be one of the greatest soccer players of all time. He has won numerous awards and accolades over his career, and his physical prowess is legendary. However, one retired soccer star believes he has a better physique than Ronaldo – even at the age of 48.

48-year-old retired soccer star Ze Roberto recently made headlines when he claimed to have a better physique than active professional soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo. At first glance, this claim may seem unfounded and even impossible given Ronaldo’s well-known athleticism and impressive physique.

However, a closer look at Ze Roberto’s impressive career and health journey reveals that this claim may not be as far-fetched as it initially seems.

Ze Roberto makes a bold claim about Cristiano Ronaldo

Ze Roberto was a Brazilian left-back who made a whopping 84 appearances for his national team. He retired in 2017 at the unbelievable age of 43. On the club level, he played for some of the big clubs like Real Madrid and FC Bayern Munich. And even after retiring, Roberto kept his healthy diet and workout routine, which helped him even at the age of 48 become shredded and in a good shape.

Ze Roberto talked about a main reason to back up his bold claim. “Today I would say that I have a better physique, because I played until I was 43-years-old,” he said. “If he (Cristiano Ronaldo) does, I will say it is him.” It is clear if the Portuguese striker wants the Brazilian legends’ approval, he will have to continue playing soccer at least till 43 years of age.

Roberto’s claim to have a better physique than Ronaldo is certainly a bold one. However, when considering his lengthy and successful soccer career, as well as his dedication to maintaining a healthy lifestyle even after retiring, it’s clear that Ze Roberto is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to fitness.
