If it is Antonio Conte was Napoli's biggest guarantee in the fight for the Scudetto for the entire season, then there is no doubt that he Scott McTominay a player who showed a champion character all the time on the field. The Neapolitans, admittedly, have not yet won the title, but they are close after last weekend in which they created a three-point advantage over Inter.

The Scot has scored 34 goals in 11 rounds so far, and has scored five of his team's last six, directly bringing nine points to the "azures".

McTominay showed how dangerous he is for opponents from the backline at Manchester United, and under Conte he is so close to the penalty area that his sense of goal comes into play. And if Napoli really win the Scudetto, their second in the last three years, it will be a great credit to the guy who was born in Lancaster, England.

We present the players who marked the European football weekend:

THE GOALKEEPER

Ortega (Manchester City) - It wasn't easy for City in the FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest, but Ortega knew how to keep a clean sheet. Even when he was beaten, the opposition strikers hit the crossbar or the post...

DEFENSE

Lewis (Manchester City) - in the 2nd minute he shook the "Forester" net and put things in their place. City has a chance to win at least one trophy this season.

Cunde (Barcelona) - he played "el clasico" without a mistake and deserved to grow into a hero - he checked Kurtou Arrives at the very end of the second extra time and put an end to the Copa del Rey final for the Catalans' new trophy.

THE MIDDLE

Mektomine (Naples) - In every team Conte managed, he had one player he would "pull out of his sleeve". In this Napoli, it is without a doubt the newcomer from Manchester United.

Pedri (Barcelona) - he's not as explosive as his attacking teammates, but everything Pedri does is pure art - class is simply class.

Soule (Roma) - The Argentine has a lot of talent in his legs, and this season he has translated it into quality in his work with Claudio Ranieri. Soule could be the gold of the Roman club...

ATTACK

Salah (Liverpool) - he brought Liverpool the title, scored in the match against Tottenham and became the top scorer among foreigners in the Premier League with 185 goals.

Mbappe (Real Madrid) - he did everything he could in the Cup final against Barça, helped the giants take control and turn the score around, but he couldn't lead the "king" to the trophy on his own.

Eze (Crystal Palace) - just over a month and Eze will almost certainly leave Selhurst Park. He is simply too good to play for a mediocre English club next season.

Lacazette (Lyon) - The "Lions" continue their fight for the Champions League, led by a seasoned goal scorer like Lacazette.

Ekitike (Eintracht) - He has scored 15 goals in the Bundesliga so far and it seems like he is just getting going.
