Happy Birthday Thiago Motta! The Brazilian-born magician who danced gracefully in midfield arenas from Barcelona to Inter, charmed Atlético Madrid fans, and then decided Paris was the perfect place for his sophisticated football moves. Who else could transition between clubs as smoothly as nationality? Only you!From dazzling assists at Camp Nou to your Champions League triumph with Internazionale in 2010—then delighting PSG's Parc des Princes crowd after joining them in 2012—you turned midfield battles into stylish parties. And of course, becoming Italian (when pizza conquered feijoada) sealed your eternal legacy.
Cheers Thiago—it’s still undecided if you're more samba or spaghetti; why choose anyway?
