The nation's captain performed to a world-class standard throughout the tournament and didn't miss a minute of action from the quarter-final stage onwards.
In the final against England at Wembley last Sunday evening, Chiellini was an absolute rock at the back throughout and the Three Lions' array of attackers struggled to lay a glove on him.
Aside from his cynical foul on Bukayo Saka in the final minutes of second half stoppage-time, Chiellini didn't really put a foot wrong during the biggest match of his distinguished playing career.
The 36-year-old is without question one of the greatest defenders the sport has ever seen and his passion for the game is unrivalled.
