The Professional Footballers’ Association, better known by its acronym PFA, recently selected the winners of the various categories awarded by this association of English footballers.
In addition to awarding the best players of the year, the PFA also chose an XI made up of the best players in the 2023/24 Premier League and a Brazilian, Arsenal central defender Gabriel Magalhães, took the recognition and was the only South American able to get into this select group.

Arsenal, with five representatives, are the team with the most presence in the PFA XI of the Year and Gabriel Magalhães was the only South American, and therefore the only Brazilian, to make it into the ideal team.
