Let's make this birthday one to remember.

37 years old (Born on April 17, 1987)

Happy Birthday, Mehdi Benatia! From your early days at Marseille (2005-2008), where you first showcased that rock-solid defense, to becoming Morocco's trusted guardian since 2008—your journey has been nothing short of legendary. Your tackles are smoother than birthday cake frosting and your headers more precise than candle placement!

Joining Roma in 2013 marked another milestone; fans still reminisce about those epic defensive masterclasses. Whether it's shutting down strikers or leading by example on the pitch, you've always delivered with style and humor.

Here's wishing you a fantastic day filled with laughter—and may all opposing forwards continue fearing "The Great Wall" Benatia!
