Cristiano Ronaldo left out of Serie A best XI

Juventus forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, has been left of the 2018/2019 Serie A Team of the Year, after his worst goal-scoring record in a decade.

In his debut in Italy following his £99million move last summer, the former Real Madrid man managed just 28 goals.

It is a far cry from Ronaldo’s best-ever total of 61 strikes for Los Blancos in the 2014/2015 campaign.

Goal-machine Duvan Zapata has been selected alongside Josip Ilicic and Dries Mertens in the attacking spots.

Despite winning their eighth Serie A crown in a row only two Juventus players made the list: right-back Joao Cancelo and midfielder Miralem Pjanic.

Napoli’s defender, Kalidou Koulibaly; Lazio’s Francesco Acerbi and ex-Manchester City left-back Aleksandar Kolarov make the cut.

Napoli star Fabian Ruiz and Papu Gomez – one of three Atalanta players in the team – join Pjanic in the midfield trio.
