A disaster? What? He was bad against Barcelona, that's it. He only played in 3 matches in the league before November due to injury and Max experimenting with Rugani as a starter. We won 2, drew 1. Outscored our opponents 9-2.
We are 16 wins-3 draw-1 loss in 20 matches with Benatia in Serie A this year. 44 goals - 8 conceded.
The only thing that says he might not be Serie A team of the year is that he missed most of of the first 3 months of the year. Since November he's been better than both Skriniar and Koulibaly, by a clear margin. Those two have put in some dire performances down the stretch run.

Not to mention Koulibaly got himself a red and sent off 10 minutes into a match that could have put Napoli into driver's seat for Scudetto. And that made him miss the next match against Torino. That red card alone should exclude him from Serie A team of the year.
