The Serie A Team of the Season was announced at the annual Italian PFA Awards, with Rafael Leao, Dusan Vlahovic, Ciro Immobile and Nicolò Barella all included.

I want to thank my parents, it was my dream to win a trophy in front of them, I am very happy,” said the Portugal international, who today was also named 14th in the Ballon d’Or rankings.
When I came here, I was still a child basically, perhaps I didn’t understand quite how big Milan were and I didn’t know how to behave like a grown-up, but Pioli was very important for me, he made me become an important player.
I have to thank everyone who work with him now that I am a man. The best thing was seeing all the fans in the streets celebrating the Scudetto, all of Milan was red and black.”
Federico Gatti picked up the Serie B Player of the Season for his time at Frosinone, while Daniele Orsato was Referee of the Season.
