👑 George Alaba arrived in Vienna in 1984 from Nigeria with a suitcase and the idea of studying Economics. What no one imagined was that this young man would end up becoming a symbolic prince of Ogun State, a DJ with a gold record in the 90s, and one of the first Black soldiers in the Austrian Armed Forces. Yes, all in one person.
His wife Gina traveled from the Philippines to work as a nurse without speaking a single word of German. From that union — African prince, Asian nurse, European city — David Alaba was born on June 24, 1992 in Vienna, the same one who would later make his debut for Austria at 17, win 2 Champions League titles with Bayern Munich, and arrive at Real Madrid in 2021. 🏆⚽
And if you think the story ends there, his sister Rose May Alaba also reached number one on the Austrian music charts. A family that seems straight out of a novel but is completely real. 🎶🔥
