“I will celebrate my birthday on Monday, so this is my gift [to myself].” - Juninho Pernambucano.

Brazilian legend Juninho Pernambucano turned 37-years-young today, and the midfielder chose to mark this landmark with yet another golazo to add to his mega collection on Sunday.

Playing for Vasco at Duque de Caxias in the Campeonato Carioca, Juninho broke the deadlock in a 3-1 away win.

The goal was a beaut; Juninho picked up the ball 35-yards from goal, steadied himself with one touch, and with barely any back-lift the playmaker arrowed a tomahawk inside the near post.

Enjoy Juninho Pernambucano’s 37th birthday with his latest golazo.
