Let's make this birthday one to remember.

41 years old (Born on August 02, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Giampaolo Pazzini! The striker whose talent delighted Sampdoria fans, wowed Inter supporters, and then bravely stepped across Milan’s divide to wear the Rossoneri colors—all while earning cheers (and some friendly jeers) from both sides of San Siro. Your spectacular hat-trick debut for AC Milan in 2012 remains one of football's most memorable birthday gifts...to all of us fans.

From netting crucial goals that sent stadiums into wild celebration, to proudly representing Italy on the international stage since 2009—you’ve made unforgettable moments. May your special day be filled with joy, good health, and zero yellow cards!
