THE BIGGER PICTURE: The World Cup winner announced his retirement from football in 2017 but showed he's still no slouch by swapping his football boots for running shoes and completing a first ever marathon.

WHAT NEXT FOR KAKA? The former Real Madrid man was asked before the race by Marca if there would be more marathons in the future but didn't seem too sure: "What I want to do is finish this first one and then we'll see."
