Let's make this birthday one to remember.

35 years old (Born on July 05, 1989)

Happy Birthday, Dejan Lovren! From your early days at Dinamo Zagreb to bossing the backline at Lyon and Southampton, you've always defended goals like they're freshly baked cakes—no one gets a slice without your permission. Your tackles are legendary; forwards still wake up sweating from nightmares of facing you.

Whether it's commanding headers or perfectly timed clearances, you've made defending look as smooth as birthday cake frosting. Here's hoping this year brings even more clean sheets and fewer yellow cards (though we secretly love those passionate moments). Keep being awesome on and off the pitch—cheers to another fantastic season ahead!
