#3 Gianluigi Buffon
The one person epitomised Juventus recently announced his departure from the Turin-based club but just when everyone thought he was going to hang up his boots for good, he joined Paris-Saint Germain to grace Ligue 1 with his brilliance.
Buffon joined Juventus from Parma in 2001 and during his 17-year stint with the club, won 21 trophies. Even during the infamous Calciopoli scandal when the team were relegated to Serie B and a host of big names were leaving the club, he stayed on and steered them back to Serie A at the first time of asking.
A 2006 World Cup winner and Ballon d'Or runner-up, the one thing missing from Buffon's trophy cabinet is the Champions League, and fans can only hope that both Buffon and PSG could lay their hands on club football's most coveted trophy this season.
