Napoli have done it! In a heart-stopping finale to the Serie A season, Antonio Conte’s side edged out Inter by a single point to claim their second Scudetto in three years, sending the Stadio Maradona into euphoric celebration.

Napoli secured the Serie A title in dramatic fashion on Friday night, overcoming Cagliari 2-0 to clinch their second Scudetto in three seasons. The victory saw them hold off a determined Inter Milan side, who also won 2-0 away to Como in their final match of the campaign.

Napoli entered the match knowing that a win would guarantee them the title, regardless of Inter’s result. They delivered under pressure, with Scott McTominay producing a moment of brilliance, opening the scoring with a superb bicycle kick — his 12th goal of the season. The goal sent Napoli fans into a frenzy as it edged them closer to glory. Romelu Lukaku doubled the advantage early in the second half, calmly slotting home to secure all three points and seal the title race.

Inter Milan did what they needed to on their end by comfortably dispatching Como 2-0. Carlos Augusto opened the scoring, while Marcus Thuram added the second. Despite the victory, it wasn’t enough, as Napoli’s win saw them finish just ahead on points to lift the Scudetto.

The triumph marks Napoli’s fourth Serie A title and their second in three years. Manager Antonio Conte made history by becoming the first manager to win the Serie A title with three different clubs. His leadership and tactical expertise were crucial in guiding Napoli through a tense title race.

The final whistle at the Unipol Domus stadium in Cagliari sparked wild celebrations in Naples, with fans pouring into the streets to celebrate a memorable season and a hard-fought title win. The Scudetto is once again theirs.
