Scott McTominay and Romelu Lukaku took turns scoring to bring joy to Napoli fans at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.

McTominay broke the deadlock by opening the scoring in the 42nd minute, then early in the second half Lukaku sealed a 2-0 victory for Napoli.

This result made Inter Milan's 2-0 victory at Como in the same match meaningless. Napoli officially turned Inter into the former champion to step up to the top of glory.

At the end of the season, Napoli won the 2024-2025 Serie A championship with 82 points after 38 matches, 1 point more than former champion Inter Milan.

This is also the fourth time in history that Napoli has won Serie A after doing the same in the 1986-87, 1989-1990 and 2022-2023 seasons.

Napoli also made history by becoming the first team to win Serie A after finishing 10th last season.

Notably, in the last 15 seasons in Serie A (since the 2010-2011 season), this is only the second time the Scudetto has been determined in the final round.

In the last time, AC Milan was crowned in the 2021-2022 season. At that time, Inter Milan also had to regretfully finish second, 2 points behind the top team.

As for Inter Milan, they have reason to regret missing the opportunity to take control of the game by drawing with Lazio in the previous round.

However, Inter Milan need to forget this defeat immediately to focus on the Champions League final, where they will face PSG to compete for the championship of Europe's most prestigious club tournament.
