When it comes to the art of defending there have been few better than Franco Baresi.
Educated and shaped at AC Milan's world-famous Milanello training base, the legendary centre back was an exemplary exponent for catenaccio - the Italian philosophy for a strong emphasis on defence.
From Cesare Maldini to his son Paolo, to Alessandro Costacurta, Alessandro Nesta and Baresi himself there have been a countless pantheon of world-class defenders shaped by AC Milan over the years.
A one-club man, Baresi was voted their Player of the Century in 1999 as his illustrious and trophy-laden career spun three decades at the San Siro.
