#3 Mario Mandzukic
Mario Mandzukic has been the most consistent performer for Juventus since the last 4 to 5 seasons. Though the 33-year-old looked ordinary in the 2017-18 season as he could only score 5 goals in 32 games, he has always been a key figure in the forward line for Juventus
Mandzukic played in a wide role last season but in this campaign, he has been deployed as a forward. The Croatian played an influential role in last year’s World Cup for Croatia.
Known for his hard-working traits on the field, Mandzukic is considered to be one of the fittest player’s in the side. The striker can be a tricky customer because of his clever moves and his ability to penetrate the rival’s defence with his creative dribbles.
Mandzukic is a kind of player who can be handy offensively as well as defensively, as he is technically quite strong. Mandzukic is like a fox in the box because of his ability to position himself in goal scoring positions inside the box and because of his magnificent finishes.
He has always showcased his ability to win aerial duels and has also looked sharp when winning the ball back from the opposition. He will surely be pivotal for Juventus in the knockout stages of Champions League.
Massimiliano Allegri has stated that Mandzukic is a player who has always inspired some of the younger players of his team because of his ability to deliver during crunch situations. He has scored 8 goals in 17 games in the current Serie A season with 5 assists to his name.
