Scott McTominay won the Serie A player of the season after scoring in Napoli’s 2-0 win over Cagliari to claim the Scudetto.
Scott McTominay has been named the Serie A Player of the Season after a remarkable debut season with Napoli. The Scotland midfielder played a crucial role in Napoli’s title-winning campaign, scoring 12 goals and providing 4 assists in 34 league appearances.
McTominay’s impact on the team was evident in Napoli’s 2-0 win over Cagliari, where he scored the opening goal with a stunning bicycle kick, sealing the Serie A title for Napoli by a single point over Inter Milan. After the match, McTominay was overcome with emotion, dropping to the pitch in tears.
“I’m lost for words, it’s incredible,” McTominay told DAZN. “The sacrifice of every single player in this group is just incredible. The people deserve it, as they’ve been behind us from day one. For me to come here and experience this, it’s just a dream.”
In Naples, McTominay has earned the nickname “McFratm” among supporters, a playful fusion of his name and the Neapolitan word for “my brother”. Partenopei fans have also honored him with a shrine to show their appreciation of his performances this season.
Winning both the league and Serie A player of the season in the same season is a new career high for McTominay and he has worked his way into the hearts of Napoli fans.
