Legendary Italy goalkeeper, Gianluigi Buffon won the 2016-2017 Serie A Best Player award, as he alongside his Juventus teammates dominated the awards.
Buffon picked up the award for his performances last season after helping Juve win a domestic double.
The star-studded awards ceremony held in Milan on Monday night and was organised by the Italian Football Federation.
Seven players from Juventus made the 2016-17 Team of the Year, including Buffon, Dani Alves, Leonardo Bonucci, Alex Sandro, Miralem Pjanic, Gonzalo Higuain and Paulo Dybala.
The other four players in the team were Kalidou Koulibaly, Radja Nainggolan, Marek Hamsik and Dries Mertens.
The Old Lady also secured the Best Club prize for the sixth straight season just a day after their comfortable 3-0 victory over Crotone in Serie A.
Juventus are currently sit third in the Italian top flight, four points behind league leaders Napoli after their opening 14 matches.
Massimiliano Allegri’s side will desperately look to close the gap when both sides meet this Friday.
