Fri May 23 21:58:59 UTC 2025: **Napoli Clinch Serie A Title with Decisive Victory Over Cagliari**
**Naples, Italy** – Napoli secured the Serie A title in dramatic fashion Friday night, defeating Cagliari 2-0 in front of a roaring home crowd at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. Goals from Scott McTominay and Romelu Lukaku propelled Napoli to victory, rendering Inter Milan’s 2-0 win against Como ultimately meaningless in the title race.
The atmosphere in Naples was electric as McTominay opened the scoring just before halftime with a spectacular bicycle kick, sparking a frenzy of celebration. Lukaku doubled the lead early in the second half, solidifying Napoli’s dominance.
The victory marks a triumphant return to the top for Napoli, who had lost the title to Inter Milan last season. It also marks a historic achievement for coach Antonio Conte, who becomes the first manager to win the Serie A championship with three different clubs, adding to his previous successes with Juventus and Inter Milan.

“It happened again, and it’s something wonderful,” Conte said in a statement. “All the credit goes to the boys. Winning in Naples is difficult, these boys are doing it for the second time in two years.”
Meanwhile, Inter Milan’s 2-0 win against Como, secured with goals from Stefan de Vrij and Joaquin Correa, proved insufficient to overtake Napoli. Inter must now shift their focus to the upcoming Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain next Saturday.
The results leave Napoli one point ahead of Inter in the final standings, sparking jubilant celebrations throughout the city of Naples as fans lit flares and fireworks to celebrate their team’s hard-earned Serie A title.
