Technique and vision, determination and passion. Magic with his left foot and a true Nerazzurri heart.

Added to his six goals, that gave him 24 direct goal contributions, also the highest total in the league. Those impressive numbers earned him the Serie A 2025/26 Best Overall Player award. The winner was selected using advanced analysis from Kama Sport, based on tracking data collected through the Hawk-Eye system.

Dimarco is the first defender ever to win the seasonal MVP award, highlighting his extraordinary impact on Inter’s title-winning campaign. He finished top of the league for assists, goal contributions and chances created, confirming himself as a constant source of quality and precision, and a key figure in the system of the Champions of Italy.
