Federico Dimarco – Inter Milan

If Inter thrilled going forward this year (89 goals scored), they owe a huge part of it to their left wing-back.

Federico Dimarco produced an absolutely monumental season.

Nico Paz – Como 1907

He is the absolute sensation of the season. Como snatched a historic Champions League qualification by finishing 4th, one point ahead of AC Milan.

The main architect of this miracle is Nico Paz. The Argentine attacking midfielder lit up the play of Cesc Fàbregas’ team.

With 12 goals to his name and a technical influence worthy of the greatest playmakers, the young talent has unquestionably reached a new global level.

Signed to take things up a level, the Dutch striker put his stamp on the season with his ruthless goalscoring.

Runner-up to Lautaro Martínez in the scoring charts, Donyell Malen terrorized Italian defenses with his pace and positional sense.

In half a season, he scored 14 goals in 18 matches. That’s impressive, very impressive!

Scott McTominay – Napoli

Embraced by the Neapolitan faithful, who affectionately renamed him "McFratm," the Scottish midfielder once again delivered a monumental season at the heart of play.

His impressive work rate and forward surges make him one of Europe’s most formidable midfielders ahead of the World Cup.
