A good first half of the season for San Marino as the Titani lead Serie A (though tied with a strong Fiorentina team at the winter break) while also winning comfortably their Champions League group. For the first time in years the league might be a very close affair with Inter and especially Fiorentina looking totally competitive at the moment. Winning Serie A doesn't look like a certainty right now!
After World Cup disappointment the Cantera kids had the chance to partially redeem themselves at the Club World Cup, well maybe that's not the same thing but hey it's a start...

A comfortable 4-1 win VS Cruz Azul in the semifinal was followed by a dominating 7-1 against Al-Shabab (!?), well that was way too easy, still a nice achievement for the club considering San Marino have won Champions League and Club World Cup using a strict cantera policy.
Club legend and future captain
Emanuele Bartoloni continued San Marino tradition winning
World Player Of The Year: this was the sixth time in a row that a Titani player has won the award, with Bart being the second Sammarinese player to ever receive this honour after the great Alessandro Paolone.

Bartoloni was also selected for the
World Team Of The Year, joining fellow Sammarinese stars
Lazzaro Dessi, Matteo Leonardi and
Alessandro Paolone in the squad. In a remarkable year Bart also scooped most of Serie A awards including Player Of The Year, Young POY, Fans POY and Foreign POY. Fun fact: during his career Bartoloni has won both Italian POY (he was considered Italian when he played for Italy U21) and Foreign POY, I guess this makes a lot of sense right?
