Let's make this birthday one to remember.

44 years old (Born on May 08, 1981)

Happy Birthday, Andrea Barzagli! You’ve spent your career gobbling up opposing attackers like delicious Italian pasta—solid, reliable, and classic since that unforgettable debut with Rondinella in 1998. Whether it was calmly guiding Juventus to national glories or helping Italy conquer the World Cup stage in 2006, you put the 'defense' back into an art form.

Retirement might have given strikers a breath of relief—but no one doubts you could still silence Ronaldo or Messi on your special day if you felt like getting off the couch! Cheers to being forever young at heart, yet eternally solid at center back!
