Lucio was an absolute beast of a defender during his Bayern Munich and Inter Milan days, also providing a solid rock in the heart of Brazil’s defence.

The centre-back won 19 trophies over the course of his career, claiming league titles both in Germany and in Italy, as well as the Champions League.

Two years after winning the treble with Inter under Jose Mourinho, he would join Juventus, where he quickly fell from importance, thanks mostly to Juve’s strength at the back in Giorgio Chiellini, Andrea Barzagli, and Leonardo Bonucci.

Lucio made just one league appearance for The Old Lady, before returning to Brazil to play for Sao Paulo and the Palmeiras.
