Napoli Reign Supreme: Conte’s Men Claim Dramatic Serie A Title

The Stadio Diego Armando Maradona erupted in celebration as Napoli secured their fourth Serie A title with a commanding 2-0 victory over Cagliari, finishing one point clear of Inter Milan in a thrilling season finale. Scottish midfielder Scott McTominay and Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku wrote their names in Napoli folklore with decisive goals that sealed the championship.

Title Decider: How Napoli Did It

Napoli entered the final matchday needing:
