There are few football players on the globe who ooze the level of skill and natural talent that Andrea Pirlo possesses.

Although the veteran 36-year-old playmaker is coming towards the end of his illustrious playing career, which has seen him wear the colours of Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus as well as win a World Cup with Italy, Pirlo is rightly recognised as a modern-day great of the game.

And here, Sport360 pays an exclusive tribute to the Master of his trade.
