Prior to the historic feat of the Argentine team in the World Cup in Qatar, the Albiceleste was close to winning the title in Brazil 2014. However, the lack of precision took its toll on those led at that time by the eternal Alejandro Sabella. Before reaching the final of the competition held in the neighboring country, the national team left the Netherlands on the road. Now, an element of the 'Clockwork Orange' that was surpassed by Lionel Messi and company, is dedicated to running marathons.

This is Arjen Robben. The storied Dutch winger, who played for clubs like Real Madrid, Chelsea and Bayern Munich, has a new passion after retiring from professional football. Now, he runs marathons and his last race went viral, where at 39 he completed the Rotterdam circuit in just three hours.

Robben, who lost the 2010 World Cup final in South Africa against Spain, is remembered for the 2014 Brazil semifinal against Argentina. In a dramatic match, the Albiceleste managed to beat 'Clockwork Orange' in a penalty shootout and thus the Dutchman could not leave Lionel Messi, the main figure of the National Team, on the road.

Arjen Robben's career:

Although he could not win anything with his National Team, at the club level he toured his talent in countries like England, Spain and Germany. In total, he won 30 titles, the most important being the Champions League and the European Super Cup with Bayern Munich. In addition, he is one of the last idols of the Bavarian team.
