Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi admits 2018 has been the best year of his career.

Icardi has received several awards this week, from the Gran Gala del Calcio to this evening's Gazzetta Awards.

“I am very happy with how my 2018 has gone so far. My first goal in the Champions League gave me indescribable emotions," said the Argentine.

“I had been waiting such a long time for my first goal with the Seleccion and that came too, so I couldn't have asked for anything more.

“It has been an unforgettable year and along with my teammates we achieved the rewards for our hard work."
