Let's make this birthday one to remember.

41 years old (Born on August 02, 1983)

Happy Birthday, Michel Bastos! The winger whose left foot was so powerful it should've come with a warning label. Lyon fans still reminisce about your thunderous strikes and dazzling runs down the flank from 2009 to 2013—especially that rocket against Real Madrid in the Champions League.

And let's not forget when you swapped baguettes for sunshine by joining Al Ain in 2013; clearly, even deserts needed some Brazilian flair. May your birthday be as spectacular as those unforgettable goals—and may no cake stand safe from being blasted into the top corner today!

Cheers to another year of brilliance!
