Lusitanian graceful Happy birthday to Manuel Rui Costa, who turns 45 today

In italian football, there have been few players as graceful as Manuel Rui Costa. On the field, with sublime ball controls, magic assists and dazzling dribbling, and outside the field, with model behaviours. All of that brought him to 680 games, 97 goals and many trophies, Champions League and Scudetto included (with AC Milan).

Today, in his 45th birthday, Manuel Rui Costa perfectly fits in his new role, as Benfica's - his favorite club- team manager. And even if nostalgia is way too much mainstream these days, we couldn't miss the opportunity to relive some of his magics on the field.
