Played for both: Seven stars at Juventus and Monaco

One of the best left-footers Italy have ever produced. Aerial threat Vieri was something of a journeyman, but netted 14 goals in his only campaign with Juventus (1996/97) winning Serie A. He later endured an injury-hit six months at Monaco in 2006, though still managed five in 11 outings.

David Trezeguet
Like Thuram above, we’re talking about a World Cup winner on home soil in 1998, but Trezeguet is also someone who helped France follow that up by scoring the golden goal in the Euro 2000 final triumph against Italy.

Check out Trezeguet’s best goals and tricks in this compilation:

With another Les Bleus icon mentioned below, he formed a potent partnership up front for club and country. Rouen-born Trezeguet spent much of his childhood in Argentina, but returned to France with Monaco in 1995, winning two Ligue 1 titles in five years there.

Juve figured if the Azzurri couldn’t beat France’s best footballers, then why not sign them? Trezeguet became testimonial material, joining Thuram in Turin in 2000, by spending a decade there, staying throughout the dark days of relegation and firing the Old Lady back into Serie A.

Yugoslavia winger Jugovic scooped the Champions League (1995/96), netting the winning penalty against Ajax, and Scudetto (1996/97) in his two terms with Juventus. One of many talents to come off Red Star Belgrade’s production line, his route in Serie A came at Sampdoria in 1992.

Following stints at Lazio, Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan, Jugovic joined Monaco in 2001, and helped them to the French league cup in 2003.

Thierry Henry

Arsenal legend and Sky Sports pundit Henry may have been Highbury’s hero as the great goals above illustarte, but his spell at the Old Lady in 1999 was far from impressive. Turin titans Juve saw him flop on the flank with just three goals in 19 games, but Monaco fans may have fonder memories.

Henry won Ligue 1 in 1996/97 in the Principality, but Wenger’s clever conversion of him from winger to Gunners sharpshooter saw him go on to become Les Bleus’ record scorer, and win honours aplenty in north London and Barcelona.

Diminutive Portugal number 10 Barros is currently assistant boss at another of the Champions League quarter-finalists Porto, and his exploits for the Dragons are undoubtedly what he is most famous for.

In 1988, however, he left home soil for the Old Lady, winning a Coppa Italia and UEFA Cup double in his second season in Turin. Following those triumphs in 1990, Barros was brought to Monaco by Wenger and he added the Coupe de France to his honours in his maiden campaign.

We started with a great French full back, so it’s only fitting that we end with one. Ex-Manchester United man Evra failed to make the grade at PSG, but rocked up at Monaco in 2002 via spells at Marsala, Monza and Nice.

Alongside Jugovic, he brought the French league cup back to the Principality, and a Champions League final appearance in 2004 alerted Old Trafford to his potential. Evra moved to United in January 2006 where in eight-and-a-half seasons he won nine major honours.

Last summer he moved on to Juventus, and has established himself as first-choice left back despite being 33. Massimiliano Allegri rested Evra at the weekend for this meeting with his former club in mind, and odds of 12/1 say he can come back to haunt Monaco by scoring here.
