Former Chelsea star Oscar has revealed his vast trophy collection as he reminisced on his career after his confirming his retirement last month.
The Brazilian, 34, had collapsed in training during a Sao Paulo training session at the end of last year, leading to his decision to retire.
Oscar had been diagnosed with vasovagal syncope, a common type of fainting caused by a sudden drop in blood pressure and heart rate.
The condition, which is not considered life threatening when managed appropriately, can be controlled with medication or a minor procedure to cauterise a node responsible for sudden drops in blood pressure.
Having announced the end of his career last month, Oscar shared a photo of the astonishing array of trophies and honours he had won during his career.
The midfielder won two Premier League titles with Chelsea, as well as the League Cup and Europa League during five seasons at the club.

Oscar was one of the highest profile players to move to the Chinese Super League during their vast investment into football, earning a reported £150million during the height of the league’s spending boom.
While many players then left as investment dropped, Oscar ultimately spent eight seasons playing for Shanghai Port.
He claimed three Chinese Super League titles, an FA Cup and Chinese Super Cup during his spell at the club.
Oscar also won the FIFA Confederations Cup with the Brazilian national team in 2013, while he was part of their silver medal winning team at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
The attacking midfielder had also enjoyed success at youth level with Brazil, winning the Under-20 World Cup in 2011 and South American Youth Championships that same year.
‘Between dreams and achievements, this photo sums up much more than titles; it sums up a journey,’ Oscar wrote when sharing the photo on Instagram.
‘Each trophy there carries hours of training, discipline, sacrifices, and also moments of overcoming obstacles that no one saw.
‘It started with a simple dream, a ball at your feet, and the desire to go further. Over time, opportunities, challenges, and victories came, transforming effort into history.

‘Today, looking at all this, it’s not just about winning, it’s about everything that had to be lived to get here. Thank you, God, for everything.’
Along with the replicas of the trophies, Oscar also showed off a series of personal awards and shirts he had received from both Lionel Messi and Neymar.
Oscar’s former Chelsea captain John Terry was among those to react to the trophy haul, responding with ‘legend’ in honour of his old team-mate.
The Brazilian had scored 38 goals in 203 matches for Chelsea between 2012 and 2016.
