Diego Godin is the perfect example of a rock solid defender. Doesn't back out of challenges, jumps up to get his head on the ball no matter who's around and puts his body on the line every single time his team needs him.
Only 5% of the readers voted for the Atletico Madrid captain, but we at Sportskeeda value him a lot more. He has been very consistent for the past 2-3 seasons and has been keeping the opponent strikers quiet more often than not.
Atletico Madrid's run to the Champions League final was mostly down to their defending led by Godin. His impressive performance throughout the 2015/16 season and was awarded the La Liga defender of the year.
