Let's make this birthday one to remember.

32 years old (Born on March 28, 1993)

Happy Birthday, Matija Nastasić! The man who defends goals better than most people defend their snacks from hungry friends. Ever since your impressive debut with Fiorentina and that memorable move to Manchester City in 2012, you've been making strikers question their career choices.

From Serbia's national team to the big leagues of Europe, your tackles have become legendary—cleaner than a freshly ironed shirt and more precise than grandma’s cooking recipes. May you continue sliding into challenges gracefully (and safely!) for many years ahead.

Here's wishing you another year filled with success on the pitch—and fewer yellow cards off it!
