Georgio Chiellini is a monstrous talent and his excellence shone through on the road to the Champions League Final last season with Juventus. He's an Italian stalwart who goes somewhat under-praised, mainly because he's been so good for so long. It's a surprise to see him jump up 2 points at the age of 31, though defenders do tend to peak later than their whippet attacking teammates. It's well deserved for Chiellini and as the old saying goes: 'better late than never' for the Italian defensive maestro.
