Is anyone else completely jealous of Alexis Sanchez's action hero-esque physique?
The Arsenal star, aside from Cristiano Ronaldo, is probably the footballer who is in the best shape - physically looking anyway - and clearly prides himself on how fit and athletic he is.
Whether the Chile international striker is wearing his country's or Arsenal's extremely tight fitting shirt, or whether he's topless, it's clear as day to see just how good a condition Sanchez is in. Just take a look for yourself:

However, the former Udinese and Barcelona forward wasn't always in such good shape.
Like the rest of us mere mortals, he was a teenager once too. Thankfully, perhaps, Sanchez wasn't the muscular, ripped specimen that football fans see on the pitch every week and, as a 15-year-old, he was just as uncool as the rest of us.
Well, judging by this image that has surfaced recently anyway:

With hair flopped down on his forehead, spots adorning his face and a look of "How cool am I!?" with those shades, it's refreshing to know that Sanchez used to be just a spotty teenager trying to fit in like every other adolescent on this planet.
If Sanchez can go from that to how he looks now, in just 12 years, there's hope for us all yet!
