5 utility players to look out for in the Champions League this season

#3. Cesar Azpilicueta

Azpilicueta was key to Chelsea's triumphant 2016/17 season

Positions he can play: Centre back, Right back and Left Back

Qualities: Tackling, Stamina and Short Passing.

Azpilicueta was primarily a left back but was brought into the centre back role after John Terry left and Antonio Conte shifted to a formation with three central defenders. His versatility is well-known around Europe. Last season, he made 140 clearances in the league and hardly made any defensive errors at all which is commendable.

Azpilicueta can defend very well, he can play as the last man for the team and also as a ball-playing centre-back. He was fabulous in the opening match for Chelsea against Qarabag. He made vital interceptions for his team and prevented all dangers. He was involved in attacks and even grabbed a goal for the team.

Now the vice-captain of Chelsea, Azpilicueta definitely adds a lot of quality to the team and is one of Conte's prized assets. Although he doesn't get too many starts for Spain, he will definitely have an important role in Chelsea's endeavours in the Champions League.
