The 2007/08 Serie Aaaaargh! awards go to...

So the curtain has come down on another fun-filled Italian football season.

AS Roma exacted some revenge over Inter in the Italian Cup final where once again Roberto Mancini got his tactics all in a tangle.

But enough of the Mancio-baiting for a moment. What about some awards from the 2007/08 campaign?

Let us begin with:

Goal of the season


Not easy at all. Trawling back through the season there were enough stunners to fill a Milanese bar during fashion week. Udinese star man Antonio Di NataleâÂÂs wonderful flick on the heel and angled drive against Reggina springs to mind.

Then thereâÂÂs Marco BorrielloâÂÂs flying volley for Genoa against Inter and Pablo Daniele OsvaldoâÂÂs equally impressive bicycle-kick to secure Fiorentina fourth spot on the last day of the season at Torino.

Francesco TottiâÂÂs blast against Parma, Alessandro Del Piero doing the same to Roma and Zlatan Ibrahimovic nearly bursting the net against Sampdoria and then repeating the feat from distance at Siena.

However, stand up Palermo and soon-to-be Juventus striker Amauri who certainly impressed his would-be employers with a magnificent curling effort from the edge of the area which left even Gianluigi Buffon shaking his head in disbelief.
