Not as innocent as he looks

Although his defensive abilities this year have been better than ever in a new system where Chelsea play three at the back, nobody can forget what Luiz did at Old Trafford.

His actions just a few years ago against Manchester United at Old Trafford are precisely why the Brazilian is a part of this list.

Running towards his own corner flag attempting to win a foul, he received a slightly late kick from Rafael which did warrant a foul. However, the main problem was that Luiz lay on the floor, supposedly in agony from the tackle, only to look at the camera and smile.

Feigning injury or diving is enough to anger anyone, but making it clear it was intentional by smiling at the camera lost Luiz a lot of credibility.

The Brazilian has been superb this season, which has seen a lot of people praise him and rightfully so. However, that act at Old Trafford, which is just one of a few from Luiz, will never be forgotten.
