Bayern Munich, Zé Roberto feels young again

FC Bayern München midfielder Zé Roberto knows all about the seemingly impossible becoming possible, and is in no mood to allow Sporting Clube de Portugal to create a UEFA Champions League miracle by overturning a 5-0 deficit when the sides meet again on Tuesday.

“We’re highly focused,” said the 34-year-old, who has featured in all but one of Bayern’s seven European games this term, scoring twice. “It looks easy for us because we won the first leg 5-0, but it’s not easy – far from it. It’s a Champions League match and anything can happen. We want to win it.”

“When I came back from Santos, I thought I would finish my career here. But I feel so good now. I’m 34, but I feel like I’m 25 – that’s why I thought that the offer could have been a bit longer.”
