Overview
- Diego Maradona Jr told Naples TV channel Televomero, “If Diego was God, then Scott is Jesus,” in comments now echoed across international outlets.
- He also labeled McTominay the most decisive Napoli player after his father, a claim that drew divided reactions from fans and media.
- The acclaim tracks his output, with 11 goals and four assists this season including the 1-0 winner over Cagliari that kept Napoli’s push alive.
- Local adoration has spilled into the streets, with a city‑center shrine to McTominay, pizzas bearing his name, and the fan nickname “McFratm.”
- The stakes feel larger in Naples, where Diego Maradona remains near‑sacred, the stadium carries his name, and murals still anchor the club’s identity.
