With AC Milan’s<\/a> 2018\/2019 campaign coming to an end this Sunday, let’s take a look at the end of season awards report.<\/p>\n

AC Milan Awards<\/h1>\n

Most Valuable Player<\/h2>\n

The first of the AC Milan awards in the Most Valuable Player. This award belongs to non-other but captain Alessio Romagnoli<\/a>. The centre-back was the rock of the team’s defence. At only 24-years-old, Romagnoli has established himself as the undisputed leader of the team. Not only has he been the most consistent performer, but his loyalty from the club has never strayed.<\/p>\n

“The club has to talk about rumours, not me,” Romagnoli told reporters<\/a> on Monday. “I am happy in Milan and I am the captain, so I have many reasons to stay.”<\/p>\n

Milan’s other centre-back options, due to Mattia Caldara’s<\/a> nagging injuries, have been average at best. Mateo Musacchio<\/a> and Cristi\u00e1n Zapata<\/a> are prone to defensive lapses, but Romagnoli’s presence assured a strong line.<\/p>\n

Besides his defence, Romagnoli contributed to crucial goals. Dropping points in winnable games has haunted Milan this season, but in a stretch of a week, Romagnoli scored two stoppage-time winners again Genoa and Udinese. These goals have single-handedly kept Milan in the Champions League race.<\/p>\n
