Nedvěd, is one of the most iconic figures in modern football after a stellar career with Juventus, spanning from 2001 to 2009.

During his career he was known for his tireless work ethic, technical brilliance, and fierce determination,
Nedvěd played 327 matches and scored 65 goals during his time with the Bianconeri. He was instrumental in Juventus’ domestic dominance as he helped them win two Serie A titles in 2001–02 and 2002–03 (later revoked due to the Calciopoli scandal).

His achievements that season earned him the prestigious Ballon d’Or in 2003, solidifying his status as one of the game’s greats.
