Gran Gala’ del Calcio 2024 Winners: Inter dominate Top XI | OneFootball

Here are all the winners from the Gran Galà del Calcio 2024, the Italian version of the PFA Awards, as Scudetto holders Inter inevitably dominated the ceremony with Riccardo Calafiori and Joshua Zirkzee too.

The event was held in Milan this evening and all the victors are chosen by members of the Italian Players’ Association (AIC).

Inter won the Serie A title at a canter last season, so naturally also dominated the Calcio awards this evening, including Simone Inzaghi as Coach of the Year and Inter as Club of the Year.

The Calcio Top XI of the Year included two players who have since left Serie A, namely Arsenal defender Calafiori and Manchester United striker Zirkzee, who both played for Bologna last season.

As expected, Lautaro Martinez was named Player of the Year after his Capocannoniere title with 24 goals.

Marcus Thuram also received the award for Goal of the Year after his strike in September 2023 during Inter’s 5-1 Derby della Madonnina victory over Milan, though this was the only award voted for by the public.

Marking 30 years since Milan crushed Barcelona 4-0 in the Champions League Final, a special Legend award went to Billy Costacurta, Demetrio Albertini, Roberto Donadoni and Mauro Tassotti.
