Scott McTominay saved Napoli from a damaging result with a late intervention that underlined his growing importance in Italy, while Harry Kane marked Bayern Munich’s return to action with a stunning goal.
McTominay came up with a crucial contribution as Napoli pushed for a breakthrough, earning praise for another big moment in their season. The Scotland midfielder has continued to make an impact abroad, stepping up when his side needed him most and ensuring Napoli avoided dropping points.
In Germany, Kane picked up where he left off. Bayern were back in competitive action and the England captain announced himself immediately, firing in a screamer to keep the reigning Bundesliga giants moving in the right direction.
Elsewhere, Jude Bellingham was on the losing side in an all-English Clasico, as Real Madrid were beaten in a fixture dominated by British talent. Bellingham’s defeat was a setback on a high-profile stage, with the match delivering another headline moment for English players overseas.
The weekend again underlined the influence of British stars across Europe, with McTominay’s rescue act and Kane’s long-range finish standing out as the defining stories.
