""He's not a striker, and I faced him on Matchday one. He really made my head spin. I'm talking about Napoli's McTominay,""
""He was popping up all over the pitch; he was truly everywhere. One moment, he was wide; the next one, he scored a header right inside the box, beating me to it.""
""Then there are Lautaro [Martinez] and [Marcus] Thuram [of Inter], but I haven't faced them yet.""
Scott McTominay scored Napoli's opening goal in a 2-0 victory over Sassuolo on the opening day of the 2025-26 Serie A season. McTominay moved to Napoli at the start of last season and was named the league's most valuable player after scoring 12 goals, earning a place in the Serie A Team of the Year and winning the Footballer of the Year award. This season he has two goals and two assists and ranks second among midfielders for shots with 32. Tarik Muharemovic, in his first Serie A season, described McTominay as the toughest opponent he has faced, noting McTominay’s constant movement and headed goal. Napoli will face Bologna in the Supercoppa Italiana final.
