Opta has included Lautaro Martinez, Christian Pulisic, and Gleison Bremer in the best XI for the 2023-24 Serie A campaign.
The 2023-24 Serie A campaign is over and Opta has named the ideal XI based on their stats.
Five Italian players are included in the team: Michele Di Gregogio, Alessandro Bastoni, Riccardo Calafiori, Federico Dimarco and Raoul Bellanova.
Luciano Spalletti has included all of them, except Di Gregorio, in Italy’s preliminary squad for Euro 2024.
Serie A champions Inter have four representatives in the Opta team with top scorer Lautaro Martinez and Turkey international Hakan Calhanoglu joining Bastoni and Dimarco.
Opta’s 3-4-3 formation features Albert Gudmundsson and Pulisic in attack alongside Lautaro. Football Italia included Gudmundsson and Calafiori among the three most surprising players in the league this season.

It appears to be quite realistic, although there will always be someone who’s not truly satisfied with the selection and would prefer (quite often they’re 110% right, but this time things seem truly well to me…) someone else, but it is what it is. Plus, I believe that each genuine football fan, who also knows a thing or two about football, would agree with this list and find it well done!
