Euro 2016: 10 best defenders in the tournament

#9 Stephan Lichtsteiner (Switzerland)

Stephan Lichtsteiner is Mr. Dependable for Switzerland at right-back

The Swiss right-back has just completed five seasons with Juventus, and even though he has spent the last year rotating with Juan Cuadrado, he remains integral to the Italian champions backline.

An even more critical part of the Switzerland setup, Lichsteiner’s stamina is one of the best in the game. He would often find himself at the end of Andrea Pirlo’s long balls from midfield, a testament to his attacking impetus. Whenever the play would break up, you’d see him instantly lined up in defense again and marvel at his tirelessness.
