#1 Gianluigi Buffon - Juventus
Ad

Despite being 39, Buffon is easily one of the best goalkeepers in the world. A role model for many, Buffon possesses everything required to be a top level goalkeeper: height, intelligence, and reactions that defy logic.

His positioning is impeccable and he rarely commits any errors. Although he may have been lucky to play with remarkable defensive lines throughout his career, Buffon hasn't been afraid to tell them off if they're in the wrong.
His importance for Juventus can be summarised with a quote from legendary Italian commentator Fabio Caressa who said, "Buffon is a man who single-handedly wins his team 15 points per season."
