"A little (laughs). But I don't want to be a bodybuilder, I don't want to gain too much muscle mass. That can be a hindrance. Still, it feels good to be in such good athletic shape."
"Leon used to have significantly more muscle than I do now. More like Cristiano Ronaldo. He's a role model of mine in general. He's a model of a professional in every respect."
Aleksandar Pavlović is positioned as Bayern Munich's natural successor to Leon Goretzka in midfield, following Goretzka's summer departure. The 21-year-old has notably increased his physical conditioning, sharing images of his improved physique on social media. Pavlović clarified he aims for athletic strength rather than excessive muscle mass, which could hinder performance. He cited Leon Goretzka and Cristiano Ronaldo as role models for professional dedication. Pavlović's journey reflects overcoming early concerns about his physicality through a late growth surge to 6'2", combined with deliberate strength development. His transformation from potential prospect to one of Bayern's key outfield players demonstrates both hard work and opportunism.
