McTominay, Lukaku win Serie A

On the morning of May 24, Napoli defeated Cagliari 2-0 at home to win the Italian national championship for the 2024/25 season.

With home advantage, Napoli did not miss the opportunity to win the Scudetto for the fourth time in history. The 2-0 victory at Diego Armando Maradona Stadium helped coach Antonio Conte and his team turn Inter into former champions, although in the same match, the "Nerazzurri" also won 2-0 against Como.

In the end, Napoli finished with 82 points, just one point more than Inter. Lautaro Martinez and his teammates paid a heavy price for running out of steam at the most important stage of the season, which then created conditions for Napoli to surpass and win the championship in a worthy manner, despite the fact that they boldly eliminated their main striker Victor Osimhen right from the start of the new season.

Scott McTominay, Romelu Lukaku, David Neres, Billy Gilmour,.. arrived and created a team with a cohesive and stable playing style under the leadership of coach Conte.

McTominay was right to leave MU.

The home team entered the match under pressure to win and not have to rely on Inter Milan's result. The first steps of the match clearly reflected the tension, as Napoli players continued to waste chances. Giacomo Raspadori and Leonardo Spinazzola both had dangerous shots but could not beat Cagliari goalkeeper Alen Sherri.

However, Napoli's persistence was finally rewarded in the 42nd minute. After a neat combination on the right flank, Matteo Politano sent a pass inside and Scott McTominay finished impressively to open the scoring, relieving all the pressure on the home team before the break.

The second half had barely begun when Romelu Lukaku doubled the lead with a powerful solo effort. The Belgian striker took advantage of a long pass, broke through the Cagliari defence and coolly slotted the ball into the net, making it 2-0 and virtually ending any hope of a comeback for the visitors.

Napoli continued to play proactively, even Lukaku had a chance to assist David Neres' third goal but the Brazilian's shot was pushed just over the bar. However, that was enough for Napoli to maintain the gap and hold on to the valuable victory.

The final whistle blew and the whole Diego Maradona stadium exploded with emotion. Napoli players, coaches and fans all joined together to celebrate the championship.
