#1 Juan Cuadrado
The stage was set as Juventus and Real Madrid clashed in the Champions League final on June 3, 2017. The Spanish giants were targeting back-to-back triumphs in the competition whereas the Old Lady looked to exorcise the demons of losing in four previous finals since lifting the cup in 1996. Despite an evenly balanced match in the first half, things did not turn out as planned for the Italian champions.

By the 65th minute, Juventus trailed 3-1 and were in desperate need of a boost offensively. This prompted Juve boss Massimiliano Allegri to replace central defender Andrea Barzagli with Cuadrado who is a naturally gifted winger. The writing was on the wall for the Colombian barely five minutes after he came onto the field as he committed a bad foul to receive a booking.
The defining moment was in the 84th minute when he was involved in a tussle with Sergio Ramos near the touchline. Cuadrado appeared to have stomped Ramos' foot during the exchange. He received his marching orders following a second yellow card. Marco Asensio rifled home the final goal at the stroke of full time for an emphatic 4-1 Madrid win.
