Atletico Madrid For the second year in a row

Atletico Madrid's players have enjoyed a few days off for the Christmas holidays and Stefan Savic has spent them in his native Montenegro, where he was awarded the prize as the country's best footballer of 2017.

Captains and coaches of the teams in the nation's top division voted and Savic collected 88 points.

"It is an honour to receive a prize in your country," he said.

This is the second year in a row that the centre-back has won the award.
