Scott McTominay has enjoyed a dream debut season in Italy, finishing the 2024/25 campaign on a high by being crowned Serie A Best Overall Player. The accolade comes after his heroic performance in the final match, where he scored the crucial opener in Napoli's decisive 2-0 win over Cagliari at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
The former Manchester United midfielder proved to be the difference maker in a title race that went down to the wire. With Inter Milan leading in their simultaneous match against Como, Napoli needed a win to secure the title. McTominay stepped up when it mattered most, breaking the deadlock with a composed finish before Romelu Lukaku sealed the victory with a second goal.
The win confirmed Napoli's second Scudetto in just three years and marked a historic moment for both the club and McTominay, who has now firmly cemented his place in the hearts of Napoli fans. His overall contributions throughout the season—11 goals and 6 assists in 33 league appearances—highlight his importance to the team and reflect a personal best campaign.
Speaking to DAZN after the game, an emotional McTominay said, “The sacrifice from every player in this group is incredible. The people deserve it as they have been behind us from day one. For me to come here and experience this, it’s just a dream.”
McTominay's influence on the pitch, leadership qualities, and ability to deliver under pressure were key factors in Napoli’s successful title charge.
