Football legend Cristiano Ronaldo has once again “broken the internet,” proving that age is truly just a number.

As he approached his 41st birthday this February, the Al-Nassr star shared a post-sauna physique selfie that has ignited a massive “Vintage CR7” fitness challenge across social media.

The photo captioned “After sauna” showcases Ronaldo with a staggering 7% body fat, a level of conditioning usually reserved for elite athletes in their early 20s.

Within hours, the post garnered over 13 million likes catching the attention of tech mogul Elon Musk, who joked, “I guess I need to work out.”

This viral moment has sparked a global movement with fans and fellow athletes attempting to mimic his rigorous discipline. Experts note that his longevity is no accident but the result of a “sugar-free lifestyle” and a scientific approach to recovery.

Reflecting on his journey, Ronaldo recently shared, “When you’re younger, you think you’re unbreakable. But as you age, you have to be smart and do things differently.”

Despite being 40, Ronaldo remains the focal point of Portugal’s 2026 World Cup ambitions.

Addressing his future, the striker remained firm on his high standards, stating, “I have no problems with my age, if you think you’re perfect already, then you never will be.”

With 11 goals already this season, the “Vintage CR7” era shows no signs of slowing down.
