Best XI of Serie A Matchday 24: Lazio Gets Lion’s Share, Milan & Juventus Stars Join In

Three Lazio players were selected in TuttoMercato’s Serie A Team of the Week as Marco Baroni’s men rooted Monza by five goals to one.

Lazio Dismantle Monza

The Biancocelesti ended a four-match skid at home by earning a big result at the expense of their Lombardian visitors who decided to sack their manager Salvatore Bocchetti after the contest and recall Lazio legend Alessandro Nesta.

Pedro Out, Castellanos In

Pedro was one of the main stars of the show as he scored a brace after coming off the bench to replace the injured Boualye Dia. Nevertheless, the Spanish veteran was shunned by TMW who didn’t include him in their Best XI for the 24th matchday, but three of his teammates got the nod, beginning with Taty Castellanos.

Taty Castellanos Delivers MOTM Performance

The Argentine was the ultimate best player on the pitch, providing two brilliant assists for the first two goals before scoring the third himself. He joins a star-studded attack that also includes Atalanta bomber Mateo Retegui who solidified his lead in the Capocannoniere charts with a super hattrick against Hellas Verona, and Randal Kolo Muani who led Juventus towards a labored win in Como.

Adam Marusic & Nuno Tavares Selected

Lazio also dominated the full-back slots, with Adam Marusic (the author of the opener against Monza) and Nuno Tavares joining Sebastiano Luperto and Jaka Bijol at the back, while Christian Pulisic made the cut following his influential display for AC Milan in Empoli.
