Scott Mctominay Shines As Napoli Win Serie A In Dramatic Season Finale

Scott McTominay just went full Maradona in Naples. The Scottish midfielder smashed home a jaw-dropping bicycle kick on Sunday — yes, a bicycle kick — to send Napoli flying past Cagliari 2–0 and straight into Serie A heaven.

McTominay, once a benchwarmer at Manchester United, is now the king of Naples. For €25 million, he’s looking like the biggest bargain since Amazon Prime Day.

The Guardian called his strike “stunning.” TalkSport said the entire city of Naples had a meltdown. And who could blame them?

It was his 12th league goal this season, but easily his most iconic. Right before halftime, with the tension boiling, McTominay pulled off a bicycle kick straight out of FIFA 25 and gave Napoli the lead they needed.

Oh, and did we mention Inter Milan also won their game? Yeah. No pressure, right?

But Napoli held firm. And that means they finish one single, glorious point ahead to snag their fourth Serie A title — their first since the Diego Maradona era still casts a shadow over the city.

Antonio Conte — yes, that Conte — managed to pull off a miracle, leading Napoli to the Scudetto and completing his personal Italian trophy hat trick after titles with Juve and Inter.

Meanwhile, McTominay isn’t just picking up silverware. He bagged the Serie A Player of the Season award. According to Reuters, he clocked in with 12 goals and 4 assists in 34 appearances — all from midfield. Not too shabby for a guy who used to get subbed off at 60 minutes in the Premier League.

And he’s not alone. Fellow Scot Billy Gilmour was in the thick of it too, making them the first Scottish players to win the Italian top flight since 1905. That’s not a typo.

The locals are all-in on their new hero. They’re calling him “McTerminator” and “McFratm” (that’s Neapolitan slang for brother, by the way). Murals are popping up across the city, and The Scottish Sun says fans are already dreaming of a statue next to Maradona’s.

Is it too soon? Maybe. But when you score a bicycle kick on the final day to win a title, you get statue privileges.

Naples is dancing in the streets. And Scott McTominay? He’s no longer just a Red Devil — he’s a Neapolitan legend.
