Gianluigi Buffon

Present the first issue of "Juventus" will soon be forty years old - a mark to which a professional football player in the status of current only a few reach. Buffon - a true symbol of the team from Turin, with her he always remained in sorrow.

In the "Juventus' Gianluigi Buffon was in the distant 2001 and has since won ten times with the championship team of Italy. In addition, in Turin Gigi triumfoval three times in the National Cup and five times - in the Super Bowl of the country. The only unconquered tops and concurrently the main dream for Buffon remains Champions League.

However, this name Team Germany is obliged not only to attack the classroom, but also confident game in defense, which led for many years the permanent guardian of the gate Oliver Kahn.

Interestingly, the same nickname frequently called and the Munich "Bavaria", which is a great color Ollie defended from 1994 to 2008. And if the "Bavaria" - a ruthless German car, then Oliver Kahn - it is certainly her heart. Even taking into account the fact that at different times as part of the Munich giants were such figures as Stefan Effenberg, Michael Ballack and Mario Basler, the undisputed "leader of the pack", and on the field, and remained in the locker room the first issue of the Munich team.

In the 21 years in the Bundesliga, Kahn spent 780 matches and missed them 561 goals - a record that would be the envy of the best goalkeepers of the modern world. Interestingly, that Oliver, as a mature brandy over the years become only better. The results of his recent years in the "Bavaria" and did impressive - in one of the strongest national championships of the Old World "Iron Ollie", located on the boundary of the fortieth anniversary, managed to pass just a few goals for the season.

"Galaktikos"

Madrid "Real" never hesitated to beat the transfer record if they talked about the global magnitude of the stars. The club bought and sold players in amounts that significantly exceed the budget of most teams in La Liga, perhaps, and Europe as a whole. The teams come some stars, others - go. It seems that this process has long put on the conveyor. However, there were also there at the Club of Madrid and its own students, who have grown to the level of "Galaktikos". Why are only the names of Raúl González and Iker Casillas.

"Black Spider" as nicknamed goalie fans - a true innovator in the Soviet football. It was he who was the first who learned to play the championship of the Union throughout the box and began to knock the ball in dangerous situations, rather than trying to fix it, how to teach the goalkeeper school at the time.

Joe Hart

For six years, the first issue of "Manchester City" and England was considered the best in Albion, but fell out of favor with Josep Guardiola, who led the "Blue Moon" in the summer of 2016.
