UEFA have wished legendary Inter defender Javier Zanetti a happy birthday on the official Instagram account for the Champions League.

The Nerazzurri great and treble hero turned 47 yesterday, and is being honoured within the world of football.

Zanetti capped off an incredible Inter career filled with domestic success by captaining the club to winning the Champions League during the 2009-10 season, the same season in which the club also won the Scudetto and the Coppa Italia.

The post reads: “A true Inter & #UCL great. Happy birthday, Javier Zanetti!”
