Cesar Azpilicueta
Some may accuse Cesar Azpilicueta of being ‘past it’ today – while that may be true, in his prime, there were few defenders in world football who could touch the Spaniard.
An adaptable defender, Azpilicueta can play comfortably anywhere across the backline – nevertheless, he has always played his best football from his natural position of right-back.
He has been at Chelsea since 2012, making 346 league appearances in that time. At 33, he is definitely on the decline – but he still remains a top defender and professional.
