Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on March 29, 1972)

Happy Birthday, Rui Costa! The midfield maestro whose silky passes and elegant dribbles made Fiorentina fans swoon from 1994 to 2001. Your vision on the pitch was so legendary that defenders are still looking for your through balls today!

From lighting up Serie A stadiums with Viola magic to proudly representing Portugal between 1993 and 2004, you've always been a class act. Even now, years after hanging up those boots, your legacy remains timeless—just like our memories of you effortlessly orchestrating play.

Here's wishing you another year filled with joy—and fewer candles than assists! Cheers to you, Maestro!
