David Alaba was born on June 24, 1992, in Vienna, Austria. He began his football career at a young age, joining SV Aspern before moving to the youth setup of FK Austria Wien at age 10. His talent was quickly recognized, and he progressed rapidly through the youth ranks. In 2008, at the age of 16, Alaba joined Bayern Munich’s youth system, where he continued to develop his skills. He made his senior debut for Bayern Munich in 2010, becoming the club’s youngest-ever player in a competitive fixture at 17 years, 7 months, and 8 days old. His versatility allowed him to play in various positions, including left-back, center-back, and central midfield, a trait that would define his career.
Alaba’s career at Bayern Munich spanned over a decade, from 2010 to 2021, where he amassed an impressive collection of titles. He was an integral part of the team that secured ten Bundesliga titles, six DFB-Pokals, and two UEFA Champions League titles (2013 and 2020), including two trebles. His consistency and leadership earned him numerous individual accolades, such as being named Austrian Footballer of the Year on ten occasions. In 2021, Alaba made a significant move to Real Madrid, where he continued his success, winning the La Liga title and another UEFA Champions League title in his debut season (2021–22). He further contributed to Real Madrid’s success by winning additional La Liga and Champions League titles in 2023–24, making him the only player to win the Champions League twice with different teams.
Internationally, Alaba has been a cornerstone of the Austria national team since his debut in 2009, becoming the country’s second-youngest player to play for the senior national team at 17. He has earned over 110 caps and captained Austria in major tournaments like UEFA Euro 2016 and UEFA Euro 2020. His presence was so vital that even when injured for UEFA Euro 2024, he was named a “non-playing captain” for the team. Throughout his career, Alaba has been recognized for his powerful left foot, defensive prowess, ability to drive attacking plays, and his strong mentality, consistency, and leadership on the field.
