The midfielder from Scotland could not be present at the awards ceremony, as he was fully engaged in the match at Diego Maradona stadium, which allowed his team to remain at the top of the league table. This match was crucial for rebuilding team confidence after a midweek loss to Manchester City at the Etihad.
Napoli shared their victory on their official X account.

Billy Gilmour, a former Brighton player, opened the scoring for Napoli with an expertly taken goal in the first half. Pisa equalized through a penalty by M’Bala Nzola. However, Napoli regained the lead in the second half with a goal from Leonardo Spinazzola, followed by a late strike from Lorenzo Lucca that seemed to secure the win. Despite a late goal from Lorran de Sousa making it 3-2, Napoli managed to hold on to their lead.
This season, McTominay has already contributed to Napoli’s success, scoring in their 2-0 victory against Sassuolo in the season opener. Today, he played a key role in extending their unbeaten streak in Serie A.
Last season, McTominay was voted Serie A Most Valuable Player after an impressive debut campaign. His ranking of 18th in the Ballon d’Or makes him the top Serie A player, with Inter’s Lautaro Martinez and Denzel Dumfries finishing 20th and 25th, respectively.
McTominay transferred to Napoli last summer for a fee of approximately €30 million and has since played 36 matches across all competitions, scoring 13 goals and providing six assists.
