Oliver Kahn sounds absolutely fed up of seeing Cristiano Ronaldo’s six pack

What a sound bite

Oliver Kahn comes from a different generation of footballers.

The Bayern Munich and Germany legend is very much from a time when the only six pack that players bragged about was the one snuck into the team hotel in a brown bag.

The no-nonsense goalkeeper was never one to tolerate prima donnas on the pitch and he doesn’t seem to be the biggest fan of a certain Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo, and his Real Madrid teammates, came in for some stick for their celebratory photograph in the away team dressing room following last weekend’s El Clasico victory over Barcelona.

And Kahn was none too pleased at the sight of Ronaldo in his tighty whities.

“Recently, I have seen Ronaldo’s abs more than I’ve seen my wife’s breasts,” Kahn said in quotes appearing in Sport.

Kahn was speaking about his theory that Real Madrid were more concerned about dressing room revelry than they were about their upcoming Champions League tie in Wolfsburg, which the La Liga side went on to lose 2-0.

“It seemed almost as if they were offended they had to play here in Wolfsburg,” Kahn added.

The 46-year-old, who has moved into a career in punditry in Germany, claimed that both Ronaldo and Gareth Bale are too undisciplined in their defensive output to go the whole way in the Champions League.

He said: “Neither Cristiano nor Bale look comfortable with the defensive work and that always leaves space for the rival full-backs.”
