5 Argentines who were brilliant in the 2017/2018 season

#4 Mauro Icardi

Despite his great form, Icardi was not included in Argentina's World Cup squad

Despite the number of impressive attackers that performed in Europe during the 2017/2018 campaign, Mauro Icardi was able to stand out and earn recognition for his incredible displays.

The striker took his game to another dimension, consistently producing outstanding efforts in the Seria A. He bagged an incredible 29 goals and 1 assist for Inter Milan in the Italian top flight. He also put up some big-game performances, bagging an impressive hat-trick against AC Milan in the Milan Derby.

One thing that is shocking is that, despite Icardi's brilliance, he wasn't included in the World Cup squad to represent Argentina in Russia. However, that is not enough to hide his incredible level of performance during the campaign.
