Captain fantastic! Chiellini worked well defensively during one of those games where Valencia were not going to fashion many clear-cut opportunities, but could have easily scored if the hosts didn't remain constantly switched on.

The heroic figure at the back Juve longed for, he was an ever-present figure and a dependable one too. Showed his experience and world-class defensive abilities yet again, was comfortable in possession during an efficient display where he worked hard for the team and put his body on the line.

Made some important defensive interventions and did the dirty work while Bonucci focused more on his excellent distribution instead. Three interceptions, seven clearances, a blocked shot and importantly, Juve's only defender to not commit a foul throughout the 90 minutes.
