Let's make this birthday one to remember.

36 years old (Born on January 12, 1989)

Happy Birthday, Axel Witsel! From your dazzling days at Benfica, where you danced through defenders and made midfield magic look effortless, you've always been a class act. Your smooth moves on the pitch are as iconic as your hairstyle—both timeless and unforgettable!

Whether it's dominating in Portugal or showcasing brilliance across Europe's biggest stages with Dortmund and Atlético Madrid, you've consistently proven that age is just a number. Here's to another year of silky passes, strategic tackles—and keeping opponents guessing what's next.

Enjoy your special day; may it be filled with laughter (and hopefully fewer yellow cards)!
