Napoli won its second Serie A title in three years on Friday. Scott McTominay hit an acrobatic bicycle kick before halftime, and Romelu Lukaku doubled the lead with a solo goal. With this, they led the decisive 2-0 home win over Cagliari. Diego Maradona captained Napoli to its first two titles in 1987 and 1990. The 2023 team, led by Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, won five rounds to spare.
Napoli captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo said:

“The one two years ago was one we were (expecting) for months, whereas this week we had so much anxiety, we couldn’t wait to get on the field and win this in front of our fans,”
Lukaku was signed from Chelsea in August. He rolled to control a long vertical pass and dribbled by two defenders before scoring in the 51st minute. Napoli fans cheered and sang hours before kickoff at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
