Napoli won the fourth consecutive Italian title on Friday, defeating Cagliari 2-0 to clinch the title.

At the end of the season, Napoli won their second league title with the goals of Scott McTominay and Romelu Lukaku at a packed and wild Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

Napoli finished the season a point ahead of Inter Milan, who won 2-0 at Como, the incoming champions having to play half the match with 10 men after Pepe Reina’s goalkeeper was sent off just before half-time of his most recent game.

With the introduction of new fans’ heroes McTominay and Lukaku, another Scudetto party was held in Naples.

Three minutes before half-time, Scotland midfielder McTominay scored his 12th goal of his first Serie A season, which was a fitting end to the stalemate that Napoli needed to end. He has been the symbol of the team’s revival under coach Antonio Conte.

McTominay signed with the start of the 2018-19 campaign in August, immediately affecting a team that is still reeling from a terrible 2023 league title defense.

In a tense stadium, as fans watched a number of good chances come and go, as Inter took the lead through Stefan de Vrij in the 21st minute to move briefly to the top of the division.

And Lukaku, who collected Amir Rrahmani’s long pass and held off Yerry Mina before ramming home the goal that sealed the deal, made sure Napoli would win the title five minutes after the break.

Lukaku scored just as Joaquin Correa doubled Inter’s lead when he confidently slammed inside Ivan Smolcic for his second goal of the season.

After conceding the Scudetto to Napoli, Inter now turn their attention to the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain in Munich, where Simone Inzaghi’s team will attempt to capture the biggest prize in club football.

Inter lost the title thanks to 12 points lost in winning positions, and the second-string team sent out at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia suggested Inzaghi was already considering the weekend ahead.

Inter were hoping to win another treble under Jose Mourinho in 2010, but the Champions League is now their only chance to win something after a long, fruitless campaign that they could never win.
