Naples erupted in celebration on Friday night as Napoli clinched their fourth Serie A title with a decisive 2-0 win over Cagliari at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, edging out Inter Milan by a single point on the final day of the 2024/2025 season.
Scott McTominay and Romelu Lukaku were the heroes of the night, each finding the net in a game charged with emotion and tension.
Their goals not only sealed the victory but also secured Napoli’s second league crown in three seasons, marking a triumphant turnaround under manager Antonio Conte.
McTominay, who joined the club in August after a turbulent start to the campaign, opened the scoring in the 42nd minute with a stunning acrobatic volley from Matteo Politano’s cross.
The goal — his 12th of the season — was a fitting reward for a player who has become the face of Napoli’s resurgence.
Lukaku added the second in the second half, putting the result beyond doubt and sending fans into raptures.

With Inter simultaneously beating Como 2-0 — a match that saw veteran goalkeeper Pepe Reina sent off in his final career appearance — Napoli knew anything less than a win would cost them the title.
But the home side held their nerve and delivered under pressure, with the final whistle triggering jubilant scenes inside and outside the stadium.
Friday’s triumph marks another milestone for Napoli in what has become a golden era for the club, with Conte’s leadership and shrewd signings like McTominay proving pivotal in restoring their status at the summit of Italian football.
While Inter finished the campaign strong, their efforts weren’t enough to deny a determined Napoli side who fought to the finish — and emerged champions once again.
