If the Champions League finalists tell us anything, it is the importance of a strong and resolute defence.
Both Manchester United and Chelsea have centre-backs of the highest quality and whilst many laud the attacking players in both teams, it is clear how important a rock-solid backline can be to success.
Manchester United’s dominance of the Premier League in the past two seasons has been based on the partnership of Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand but the squad's depth has been just as important.
