Juventus have the privilege of having two of the best centre-backs in world football at the moment. The captain of the Bianconeri, Giorgio Chiellini, is partnered by Leonardo Bonucci, and the understanding between these two is second to none. They can start attacks by playing the game from the back and chip in vital goals whenever necessary.

In Andrea Barzagli, Juventus have a veteran warhorse who can seamlessly fit into a back two or back three whenever he is called upon. Daniele Rugani is another promising centre-back who has the potential of becoming the very best and he is set to inherit the mantle from Bonucci-Chiellini. Medhi Benatia's experience as a centre-back comes in handy on a lot of days.

Alex Sandro is one of the best left-backs on the planet and his capability of changing the game in an instant is the very reason why so many clubs are running to sign him. The young Portuguese right-back Joao Cancelo has been playing really well of late. Left-back Leonardo Spinazzola and right-back Mattia De Sciglio are really good players who can be entrusted with the duty of getting the job done.
