In a season finale filled with high stakes and drama, Napoli sealed their fourth Serie A crown with a commanding 2-0 victory over Cagliari at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Goals from Scott McTominay’s acrobatic bicycle kick and Romelu Lukaku’s solo strike made sure there was no late twist in this exhilarating title chase.
Napoli’s march to glory was defined by consistency and flair. Under the leadership of coach Antonio Conte—now the first tactician to lift the Italian championship with three different teams—the Azzurri amassed 82 points, just one ahead of defending champions Inter Milan. While Inter edged past 10-man Como 2-0 on the final day, it fell agonizingly short of matching Napoli’s tally.
The statistics tell the story:
- 82 points won by Napoli, featuring 25 wins, 7 draws and 6 losses
- First-half dominance: Napoli scored 35 goals before halftime
- Lean defense: only 28 goals conceded over 38 matches
“Everyone contributed to this — but the coach most of all,” Napoli captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo reflected. “Napoli needed him to get back on top. He’s phenomenal.”
Conte described this triumph as “the most unexpected, the most difficult, and the most stimulating in terms of the challenge.”
This victory marks Napoli’s second Scudetto in three years and cements their status as a modern powerhouse in Italian football. For fans and travelers alike, the buzz in Naples is electric, blending historic pride with cutting-edge passion—a must-experience moment for global football aficionados and digital nomads chasing the world’s most thrilling sporting adventures.
