TEAM OF THE SEASON – SERIE A 23/24:

For the Team of the Season, some choices are clearly consensual. Based on the whole season, players like Çalhanoğlu and Lautaro Martínez are unanimous choices. Nevertheless, there are some interesting choices!

‘THE OUTSIDERS’ – SERIE A 23/24:

The Outsiders‘ section refers to something different, something beyond of what is normally talked about but is equally important. In this case, I think it’s important to analyse the best players outside the Top 3 (Inter, AC Milan & Juventus), teams that have a greater financial and even sporting strength.
