The 30-year-old left-back was born in Vienna to Nigerian parents, as many argue that he is one of the best defenders of his generation.

In a match against France, Alaba made his debut for the Austrian national team, becoming their youngest player in history.

And in tweet, Abike Dabiri-Erewa wrote:

“David Alaba made us all proud yesterday by winning the European Super cup with his new club Real Madrid. He scored the first goal of the match. David is currently embarking on a philanthropic project in Nigeria to be launched soon.”

The footballer was nurtured and raised in Austria, even though he was eligible to play for the Super Eagles until October 2009.
