European Team of the Season: Left wing - Eden Hazard (Chelsea) Despite being heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid all season, Eden Hazard has been a pillar of consistency for Chelsea.

European Team of the Season: Central midfield - Alejandro Gomez (Atalanta) There were suggestions that Alejandro Gomez needed to leave Atalanta at the end of last season to get Champions League football but the Argentina international’s loyalty to La Dea has been vindicated this time around.

European Team of the Season: Central midfield – Teji Savanier (Nimes) Nimes midfielder Teji Savanier was one of the surprise packages in Ligue 1 this season. The 27-year-old excelled in his debut campaign in France’s top tier with his WhoScored rating (7.89) more than enough to make the cut in the European team of the season. The midfielder registered 14 assists...

European Team of the Season: Centre-back - Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool) From a personal perspective, it was a fine league season for Virgil van Dijk. The Dutchman was named PFA Player of the Year after a stunning campaign with Liverpool, who missed out on the Premier League title by a solitary point. Attention now turns to Saturday’s Champions League final as Van ...

by Ben McAleer at Tuesday, May 28 2019 14:20
European Team of the Season: Goalkeeper - Alessio Cragno (Cagliari) Cagliari would have fared a lot worse had it not been for Alessio Cragno between the sticks. They eventually finished 15th with Cragno impressing. The 24-year-old goalkeeper made more saves (153) than any other shotstopper in Europe’s top five leagues this season to help return a WhoScored rat...
