Ante Rebić born (1993)
Ante Rebić was almost as famous for a bizarre pre-match ritual — slapping and punching himself to psych up before kickoff — as for his football, forming a fearsome front three at Eintracht Frankfurt before a move to AC Milan, where he helped fire the Rossoneri to a first Scudetto in over a decade in 2021-22.

Alexander Isak born (1999)
Alexander Isak became the most expensive player in British transfer history when Liverpool paid a British-record £125 million (rising to £130m with add-ons) to sign him from Newcastle on transfer deadline day in 2025, ending a bitter summer-long standoff in which the Swedish striker had publicly declared his relationship with Newcastle "can't continue."
