A remarkable year for Chelsea and Italy star Jorginho has continued on Thursday, after the midfielder etched his name into the history books of European football.
Clean sweep
The last six months have of course proven the most productive of Jorginho’s career.
After establishing himself as a vastly improved and, above all, reliable figure at the base of Chelsea’s midfield, the former Napoli man proved a key cog in the engine of new boss Thomas Tuchel over the 2nd half of last season.
Such efforts ultimately culminated in the Blues both clinching a top-4 berth in the Premier League, and going all the way in the Champions League for just the 2nd time in their history.
Swiftly following Jorginho’s triumph on club football’s grandest stage, though, was further glory just weeks later.
This came at international level, as the 29-year-old again ran the show from his deep-lying midfield berth, this time for Italy at Euro 2020.
Roberto Mancini’s men defied the odds in ousting the likes of Belgium and Spain, before besting hosts England via a penalty shootout victory, to lift the European Championship trophy.
Jorginho, for his part, secured a deserved spot at the heart of the Team of the Tournament.
CR7 matched
And, as outlined above, on Thursday, the Azzurri star has only continued to add to his silverware collection.
Ahead of the draw for the group stages of the 2021/22 Champions League, a host of individual prizes were handed out, rewarding the finest performers from across the continent over the course of the last 12 months.
And Jorginho emerged with the most prestigious of the night, securing the accolade for the 2020/21 UEFA Men’s Player of the Year:

Not only that, but Chelsea’s midfield metronome has since, as a result, etched his name into the history books of European football.
Remarkably, Jorginho has joined Cristiano Ronaldo as one of only two players to ever clinch all of the Champions League title, European Championship title and UEFA Men’s Player of the Year award in the same calendar year:
