Diego Godin

Diego Godin has been the bedrock of every success that Los Rojiblancos have had over the last 8 years.

Atletico Madrid's turn in form coincided with the signing of Godin in 2010, and the Uruguayan defender - and captain of the team - has won numerous trophies in his time at Atletico, including two Europa Cups, one La Liga title as well as being runners-up to Real Madrid in the Champions League on two occasions.

Atletico Madrid fans would have heaved a huge sigh of relief when Godin stayed at the club, after being linked with a move to Manchester United. Godin is one of the best - if not the best - defender in the world and it would have taken Atletico a lot of money to replace a player of his quality.

The Uruguayan defender is a great leader at the back, has a never-say-die attitude and a willingness to win at all costs.

Godin staying at the club further strengthens the Atletico side.
