Raúl

Raúl celebrated his 40th birthday on Tuesday, surrounded by his family. The former Real Madrid football player was accompanied on his special day by his five children - four boys and one girl - and his wife Mamen Sanz.

The seven of them spent the day at the beach, which Raúl later shared on his social media. The most striking thing about the photo was not the location of the party, but the amazing resemblance of the children to their father, especially the two oldest ones.

Raúl doesn't usually share photos of his children, that's why the resemblance is so surprising. His Instagram account doesn't have any other pictures of his family, only one with his wife.

One of the few times that Raúl's children could be seen together was in 2010, when Mamen Sanz posed for a photoshoot for Elle magazine with all five of them. At that time, Jorge was 10 years old (now 17), Hugo was 7 (now 14), the twins Mateo and Héctor were 4 (now 11), and María was four months old (now 7 years).

Raúl's birthday did not go unnoticed by his former Real Madrid teammates, who took the opportunity to congratulate him on social media. Roberto Carlos and David Beckham were two of those who wished their captain a happy birthday.
