Serie A 2017/18: The best XI of the season

Centre-midfield: Sergej Milinkovic-Savic (Lazio)

Milinkovic-Savic had a stellar third season with Lazio

Lazio’s biggest strength in this successful season has been the metronomic midfield. Yes, Ciro Immobile did shine bright with his imperious attacking prowess, but it’s the midfield orchestration by Milinkovic-Savic that drove Lazio forward.

Technically brilliant and utterly dominant on the ball, the Serb registered his career-best figures of 12 goals for the Biancocelesti, whilst laying off another three assists.

A relatively unknown quantity until the start of the season, Milinkovic-Savic now finds himself as one of the most-sought-after midfielders in Europe.
