Most Muscular Soccer Players (with shirtless pictures πππ)
By the tee-rex
Hey there, it feels good to be back here with you guys...was just thinking of how to engage with more people when the idea of soccer sort of popped up in my head and what better to post on soccer (on a fitness blog) than finding the "...most muscular soccer players. " currently gracing football pitches all around the world, week in week out!
Naturally you'd expect male soccer players (considering the fact that even the female soccer players are well toned and the fact that soccer is a very demanding sport especially to the human organs.. ..) to be muscular, maybe not as big as a professional bodybuilder (you'll be shocked to find one on the list who's as jacked as a powerlifter; he's actually a powerlifter) but fit and muscular enough to protect their “insides” as they adapt to the intensity of the game...
You'll be shocked to see how muscular the guys you see kick balls around are, especially number 5 and 9...enough talking, let's get to the GOOD stuff...oh! And one more thing...they are all shirtless!

Hulk is the first on the list, since most football fans are familiar with this big Latino monster who weighs 85kg. Givanildo Vieira de Sousa (born 25 July 1986), known as Hulk , is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Shanghai SIPG and the Brazil national team, as a forward, though he can also operate as a winger . Hulk is 1.80 m (5 ft 11 in) tall and currently 31 years old.
He acquired his nickname due to his likeness to the actor Lou Ferrigno who played the incredible hulk on the eponymous television show in the 1970

Remember when I said you'd be shocked to find out how huge some of these guys are...this one just takes soccer to another level, he'd pass for a spot in Mr Olympia or even better; a fitness model , but hey, he's just a soccer player is he not...
George Nganyuo Elokobi (born 31 January 1986) is a Cameroonian professional footballer who plays as a defender for National League club Leyton Orient .George stands at 1.83 m (6 ft 0 in) he is currently 31 years old.
Without further a'write this is the guy on the list I talked about earlier ;the beast soccer player who will definitely pass for a powerlifter, Saheed Adebayo Akinfenwa (born 10 May 1982), known as Adebayo Akinfenwa and nicknamed “The Beast” is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for Wycombe Wanderers.
I wouldn't say he's short because 5 ft 11 in (1.80 m), sounds more like a little over average height for a man. If I was a soccer manager I would make this guy my defender, I mean look at all that muscle... He is definitely the HULK on this list...SAVAGE!!!
Akinfenwa reportedly weighs around 16 Stone (101 kg) and can bench press 200 kg, almost double his own body weight. He runs a clothing label called Beast Mode On which plays on his strong man reputation . He is currently 35 years old.

Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro (CR7) ... now this guy is the chap everyone has been expecting to see on the list.
Dude's jacked, looks like a fitness model even.
Ronaldo; born 5 February 1985) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a forward for Spanish club Real Madrid and the Portugal national team . You would say he's rather tall standing at 1.87 m (6 ft 2 in). He is currently 32years old and his 33rd birthday is in February.
11)
Another addition to the list is Danny Welbeck "...a beast in the gym"-Alex Iwobi
Daniel Nii Tackie Mensah Welbeck (born 26 November 1990) is an English professional footballer who plays for Premier League club Arsenal and the English national team. He primarily plays as a forward but can also play as a winger.
He is 27 years old and 6 ft 1 in (1.85 m) tall.

Xherdan Shaqiri (Albanian pronunciation: [dΚΙrΛdan ΚaΛciΙΎi]; was born on the10th October, 1991 in Gjilan, SFR Yugoslavia) is a Swiss professional footballer who now plays as a winger for Premier League club Liverpool and the Swiss national team. He stands at 1.69 m (5 ft 7 in, no wonder he looks so jacked)
He began his career at FC Basel, winning honours including three Swiss Super League titles, before moving to Bayern Munich, where he gained eight domestic and international honours despite playing less frequently. In January 2015, he moved to Inter Milan, and seven months later to Stoke City for a club record. After Stoke's relegation from the Premier League in 2018, Shaqiri was transferred to Liverpool prior to the following season, where he is reported to wear the no. 23 shirt
A full international since 2010, Shaqiri has earned over 70 caps for Switzerland. He represented the nation at the 2010, 2014 and 2018 FIFA World Cups, as well as UEFA Euro 2016. It's obvious from his Instagram page that he's a fitness enthusiast, flaunting his gians and his incredible strength.
This list (even though it was compiled by me), has me wondering, just how much muscle their jerseys hide or better put, cover!
What are your thoughts on my "...most muscular soccer players." list? You can drop a comment to let me know your opinions. Till I come your way again, stay blessed and sore... Peace out!

A lot of people probably haven't heard of this guy but in my perspective, the guy's jacked and he's also tall, standing at 1.88m (6 ft 2 in).
Aymen Abdennour ( born 6 August 1989) is a Tunisian professional footballer who plays as a central defender for French club Olympique de Marseille on loan from Valencia. He is currently 28 years old.

| Romelu lukaku (left) and Paul Pogba shirtless at a beachπ |
Another beast on the pitch, this Manchester United striker is a record breaker and a driving force in the team's attack and he's just 24 years old.
Romelu Menama Lukaku Bolingoli (born 13 May 1993) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Premier League club Manchester United and the Belgium national team. lukaku stands at 5 ft 11 in (1.80 m) definitely not the tallest player on the list...
