38 years old (Born on March 20, 1987)
Happy Birthday, Jo! The striker so nice they named him twice—Joao Alves de Assis Silva—the goal machine who graced Internacional, fired rockets at CSKA Moscow and chased glory with Manchester City. But clearly your heart belongs to Atlético Mineiro since 2012; you just couldn't resist the charm (or was it pão de queijo?) of Minas Gerais.From scoring key goals for Brazil's national team starting in 2007 to thrilling crowds worldwide—you've proven again and again that age is merely a number. Keep striking harder than samba rhythms on match day!
Feliz aniversário, legend—cheers to many more celebrations ahead!
