Claudio Marchisio enjoyed his best Juventus campaign to date, combining driving bursts from midfield with a deft goalscoring touch.
The presence of Pirlo gave the academy graduate further licence to roam forward, a freedom he clearly relished, timing his late runs to perfection to strike fear in the hearts of opposition defences.
With 36 appearances and 3,206 minutes played, Marchisio made his presence felt in the three-man central midfield. The statistics speak for themselves: 2,083 touches, 588 key passes, 33 useful dribbles, 31 shots on target, four assists and, above all, nine goals.
The first of these, in the first official game played at Juventus Stadium, was a true masterpiece. Other important strikes included the double over Milan and the neat finish at the San Siro against Inter.
