Perhaps one of the greatest players to ever play for Juventus, Michel "Le Roi" Platini is a football legend. His five years at the club were riddled with both team and individual trophies- two Serie A, one Coppa Italia, one Champions League, one Intercontinental Cup, and most impressively, three consecutive Ballon d'Ors. Platini finished his Juve career with a total of 104 goals, even earning the Capocannoniere title in 1983, 1984, and 1985. 

As an attacking midfielder, Platini is known for his superior passing play, penalty-taking abilities, and play-making skills. His vision, creativity, and aptness at reading the game were truly one of a kind and led him to the top. To this day, he is still one of the most revered Juve champions ever and is fondly remembered by fans around the world for the dazzling skills he displayed during his five years at Juventus between 1982 and 1987.
