Scott McTominay was seen in tears after Napoli’s fourth Serie A title success, beating Cagliari at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. McTominay made a major contribution to his club’s win, scoring the first goal in the 42nd win. His score emboldened the confidence of Romelu Lukaku, who also racked up the second goal of the match in the 51st minute and handed the momentum to the hosts. The couple of goals shattered the confidence of Cagliari as they couldn’t retort against the home side.
Following the referee’s final whistle, Napoli celebrated the scintillating victory in front of their spectators. McTominay couldn’t hold his emotions and started crying on the pitch. His teammates hugged him during the cheerful moment. It’s indeed a huge achievement for Napoli as they have pulled off a couple of titles within the last two years. They surpassed Inter Milan by one point on the points table to clinch the distinguished trophy.
After leading his team to the triumph, McTominay remarked, "I'm lost for words. It's incredible you know, the sacrifice that every single player in the group has put forward to the cause. And the people deserve it because they've been behind us from day one, and for me to come and experience this is a dream."
Scott McTominay’s bicycle kick displayed the fierce side of Napoli
In the 42nd minute, when both teams were struggling to score, McTominay held his nerves and notched up the first through an impressive bicycle kick. Following the Scottish player’s goal, Napoli players were seen celebrating in a wild way. It was the 28-year-old’s 12th goal in the season after 34 appearances.
Napoli’s decision to bring McTominay in the squad has got them effective results. Back in 2024, he was brought into the team for £25million. Noting his performance, it can be said that the midfielder has justified his role in the side as an attacking player.
