Napoli crowned Serie A champions after win over Cagliari

The battle went to the final round of fixtures in which Napoli kept Inter at bay with a 2–0 home win over Cagliari as hundreds of thousands of fans celebrated across the Campania coastal city.

Napoli secured the Serie A title in style with a 2-0 home win over Cagliari on Friday thanks to goals from Scott McTominay and Romelu Lukaku.

Napoli celebrated their second Italian title in three years — and fourth overall — after a thrilling battle with Inter whose 2-0 win at Como thanks to goals from Stefan de Vrij and Joaquin Correa left them one point adrift of their rivals.

McTominay opened the scoring for Napoli three minutes before the break with a stunning bicycle kick from Matteo Politano’s cross, sending the home crowd into a frenzy.

Lukaku doubled the lead six minutes after the restart by latching on to a long ball, shrugging off a defender and calmly finishing past Cagliari keeper Alen Sherri.

The rest of the match turned into a celebration at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium as flares and smoke filled the pitch before the final whistle blew and fireworks lit up the Naples sky.
