It is understandable that there is still a lot to do for Massimiliano Allegri as Juventus are yet to secure their dream Champions League title, following their disappointing elimination at the hands of Ajax in the quarter-finals. They also crashed out of the Coppa Italia dueafter an embarrassing 3-0 defeat against Atalanta in the quarter-finals.
However, they managed to win their straight eighth Serie A title. The Old Lady secured their 36th league title with 5 games to spare, following their win over Fiorentina last month. The club also seem to have benefited a lot from the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo, who arrived in a €112 million deal from Real Madrid last summer.
Despite the Portuguese megastar's presence, several other Juventus players have also performed brilliantly and deserve to be listed as nominees for the club's Player of the Year Award.
#3 Alex Sandro
The 28-year-old might have penned a new long-term contract which will see him stay at the club until 2023, but the potential arrival of Marcelo has constantly threatened his future. There are also numerous rumours stating that Juventus are still open to selling the left-back, despite the contract extension.
Sandro's place in the squad has been a bit threatened as the manager has picked Leonardo Spinazolla ahead of him on several occasions. His productivity also has considerably dropped as compared to last season. Nevertheless, he has still been one of Juventus's most consistent performers this season.
His impressive defensive performance have helped Juventus to become the club to concede the least number of goals in the Serie A in the present campaign. He has registered an average of 2.2 tackles, 1.9 aerials won, and 1.2 interceptions combined in the Champions and the domestic league.
Apart from his all-around defensive works, Sandro is also a reliable passer and rarely makes a mistake in finding a team-mate of his. His offensive capabilities also should not be underestimated as he has made at least 1 key pass in each game on an average.
#2 Joao Cancelo
Several reports state that the Portuguese star is having a mixed season at Juventus and his not-so-good relationship with Allegri has attracted the attention of European superpowers. Nevertheless, his statistics have shown that his move to Juventus could be considered as a success so far.
He has arguably established himself as the best right-back in the Serie A and has become Ronaldo's best partner at Juventus. A speedy and agile player, with an excellent vision, Cancelo is one of Juventus' most potent players when going forward, despite playing as a defender.
He surprisingly has registered more dribbles than Ronaldo and has been involved in six goals combined in the Champions and the Serie A. Some may say that the 24-year-old has not been defensively, but his statistics say otherwise. He has registered nearly two tackles on average per game and has rarely been dispossessed of the ball.
#1 Cristiano Ronaldo
The 34-year-old is regarded as one of the best players in the world for a reason. The Portuguese megastar has quickly integrated into Juventus' system, despite joining the club only last summer. He has now become the backbone of the Italian club and have often single-handedly rescued them from tricky situations.
Ronaldo helped Juventus to stroll to yet another Serie A title this season. Lionel Messi might have eclipsed him in terms of overall performance in the present campaign, but the former Manchester United player has done a tremendous job in adapting to a new club and a new league at the same time.
He did everything he could in the Champions League by scoring all of Juventus' goals at the knockout stages. Unfortunately, several of his team-mates seemed to let him and the team down as The Old Lady crashed out in the quarter-finals.
Ronaldo would want to end the season as Serie A's top goalscorer. Although the star has scored an impressive 21 league goals, he stills falls short of topping the goalscoring chart as Atalanta's Duvan Zapata and Sampdoria's Fabio Quagliarella has found the back of the net one and four more times respectively.
