The Best XI World Cup winners in Juventus history

With Ángel Di María and Leandro Paredes added to the illustrious list, Juventus cemented its place as the club with the most World Cup winners among its ranks.

Throughout the history of the competition, 27 players have lifted the highest golden trophy during their time at the black and white club, the last being the Argentine duo.

IlBianconero decided to deliver a better XI formation made up of Juventus’ most iconic World Cup winners.

Between the posts, Gianluigi Buffon got the nod ahead of legend Dino Zoff, while the class of 1982 dominated the back line with three inclusions (Gaetano Scirea, Antonio Cabrini and Claudio Gentile). Italy 2006 captain Fabio Cannavaro completed the defense.

In the middle of the park, 1982 hero Marco Tardelli was an obvious choice. France 98 captain Didier Deschamps joined the Italian, and Angel Di Maria completed a truly splendid trio.

The legendary Zinedine Zidane is a mandatory inclusion, fitting as an attacking midfielder role behind the surprising fantasy partnership of Alessandro Del Piero and the late Paolo Rossi.

Juventus, WC XI winners (4-3-1-2): Buffon (Italy, 2006); Gentile (Italy, 82), Cannavaro (Italy, 2006), Scirea (Italy, 82), Cabrini (Italy, 82); Tardelli (Italy, 82), Deschamps (France, 98), Di María (Argentina 2022); Zidane (France, 98); Rossi (Italy, 82), Del Piero (Italy, 2006)
