Scott McTominay

Napoli beat AC Milan in a big clash at the top of Serie A with a mixed verdict delivered by the Italian press on Scott McTominay's performance

The final four European spots in the 2026 World Cup will be decided tonight, the final day of the March international break, with all five home nations also in friendly action this evening. talkSPO…

Was Scott McTominay’s outrageous overhead kick one of the greatest we’ve ever seen as he fires Scotland to their first World Cup in 28 years? And why does it feel like the British media has it out for Jude Bellingham — is this really about football, or is there something more sinister behind the narrative? The lads dive into Scotland’s historic qualification, the press’ obsession with knocking down rising stars, and whether the entire World Cup qualification system needs a modern overhaul. Plus, a big question: what on earth will Alan do if Sunderland finish inside the Premier League’s Top 4? The Rest Is Football is powered by Fuse Energy.

Scott McTominay left a struggling Manchester United to become Serie A’s Most Valuable Player, win the Scudetto for Napoli and be nominated for the Ballon D’Or - all in one year. Was he this good all along? Is he finally getting the respect he always deserved? This episode of Football Daily, hosted by football writer and Copa 90 presenter Eugene Noble, goes right back to the start of Scott McTominay's incredible story and explores the making of McTominay: How he grew from the Man Utd academy, to being taken under the wing of José Mourinho and performing on the international stage. We speak to the likes of Paul McGuinness and James Weir, coaches and players who knew him at the academy, as well as podcasters, pundits and fans such as Jay Motty, Joe Fischetti and Umberto Bernardo, who have tracked his career from Old Trafford to the Neapolitan sun. We also hear from football journalist Mina Rzouki about how Scott has transformed under Antonio Conte, as well as Scottish Legend and commentator Pat Nevin about how he is becoming a symbol for the nation in the blue shirt of Scotland. We even speak to Scotland head coach Steve Clarke about Scott’s crucial role to the international team and a conversation that sparked Scott’s career back into life. In 2026, McTominay is facing his biggest season yet: Napoli have a title to defend. They’re back in the Champions League. And Scotland have their World Cup qualifier campaign already underway. So, the question isn’t just how Scott McTominay got here - it’s how much higher can he go?

Jimbo’s joined by Julien Laurens, Pol Ballús, Seb Stafford-Bloor and James Horncastle for your weekly dose of football chatter from across the continent. We begin in Germany, where Bayern Munich got their title defence underway in emphatic fashion with a 6-0 thrashing of RB Leipzig. Harry Kane picked up where he left off last season, scoring a 13-minute hat-trick to take him to a ludicrous 65 goals in 64 Bundesliga games. Not such good news for Erik ten Hag’s Leverkusen though - beaten 2-1 by Hoffenheim at the BayArena. In Ligue 1, despite the chaos off the field Marseille found some unity on it to beat Paris FC 5-2 at the Vélodrome, while PSG recorded another narrow 1-0 win as their underwhelming performances continued. Olivier Giroud stole the headlines with a 91st minute winner for Lille against Monaco - the 350th goal of his professional career! Over in La Liga, there was late drama as Barcelona fought back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 at Levante. Meanwhile Real Madrid made it two wins from two themselves in far more comfortable circumstances at newly promoted Real Oviedo. And there were plenty of intriguing scorelines in the first week of Serie A - including Inter’s 5-0 rout of Torino, Max Allegri’s Milan beaten 2-1 by the promoted Cremonense - and KDB kicking off life at Napoli with a goal in their 2-0 victory at Sassuolo - but he'll have to go some way to take Scott's crown...

After Scott McTominay was a hit, Napoli went back to the Premier League for Kevin de Bruyne, could more players follow them to Serie A?

Recorded earlier on Monday, Jimbo assembles Julien Laurens, Pol Ballús, Seb Stafford-Bloor and James Horncastle as the Euro gang sign off for the summer in style. There’s only one place to start - and the dramatic events on Friday night in Serie A as Scott McTominay and Romelu Lukaku were on the scoresheet as Napoli tasted Scudetto glory amid jubilant scenes inside the Maradona and on the streets of Naples. Inter will be hoping to put the disappointment of missing out on the title behind them as they prepare to face PSG in Saturday’s Champions League final. The French champions warmed up for the occasion by cruising to a 3-0 victory over Reims in the Coupe de France. So - who’ll come out on top in Munich? The curtain closed on the La Liga season this weekend with emotional goodbyes for Carlo Ancelotti & Luka Modrić as their time at Real Madrid came to an end with a 2-0 win over Real Sociedad. Barcelona wrapped up their domestic treble-winning season with a comfortable victory at Athletic Bilbao - while Real Betis prepare for Wednesday’s Conference League final against Chelsea… And over in Germany, the Pokal fairytale wasn’t to be for Arminia Bielefeld as Stuttgart ended their 18-year wait for a trophy with a 4-2 victory over their third-division opponents. Plus, the big news out of Leverkusen is that Erik ten Hag is back! Produced by Lucy Oliva.
