Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on January 09, 1985)

Happy Birthday, Juanfran! From sprinting down the right flank at Real Madrid to becoming Osasuna's reliable defender, you've always tackled life with style—though thankfully fewer yellow cards these days. Your journey from Madrid’s bright lights (2004-2006) to Osasuna’s steadfast heroics (2006-2011) proves you're as timeless as your overlapping runs.

Joining Spain's national team in 2012 was just icing on your birthday cake. May you celebrate today like it's a last-minute winning goal: passionately and memorably—but please avoid any slide tackles near the cake table! Here's wishing you endless joy and laughter; after all, defenders deserve some fun too!
