Unfortunately for Calcio, the Italian team has not reached the final of the two most recent editions of the World Cup. Nonetheless, the history of the tournament is still marked by a plethora of Azzurri legends.
Italian soccer expert Carlo Garganese picks his all-time best XI Italia players who participated in the World Cup, and naturally his fantasy lineup includes several Juventus legends.
For example, he had to choose between two bianconeri icons for the role of keeper, but ultimately preferred Gianluigi Buffon over Dino Zoff.
The other notable Juventus stars in the lineup are Roberto Baggio, Marco Tardelli, Claudio Gentile, Fabio Cannavaro, Andrea Pirlo, Gaetano Scirea and Paolo Rossi.
Garganese’s best XI in Italy (5-3-2): Buffon; Gentile, Baresi, Cannavaro, Scirea, Maldini; Tardelli, Pirlo, Conti; Baggio, Rossi
