Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on May 15, 1985)

Happy Birthday, Carl Medjani! The rock-solid defender who swapped Ajaccio's shores for Monaco's glamour in 2013—clearly, you knew how to upgrade your scenery! Your tackles were tougher than algebra exams, and your headers more precise than a Swiss watch. Algeria’s national team gained a true warrior when you joined in 2010; opponents still have nightmares about facing you.

From anchoring defenses to scoring crucial goals, you've always been the reliable backbone every team dreams of. May your birthday be as legendary as your defensive clearances and as memorable as Algeria’s epic World Cup run. Keep aging like fine wine—cheers!
