00:00The Scudetto in Naples used to be reserved for the privileged few that
00:09worshipped Maradona at this stadium but the Partenope are now just 90 minutes
00:15away from a fourth league title and the second in the last three seasons. Victory
00:20tonight against Cagliari gets the job done but in truth Napoli only need to
00:25match Inter's result at Como. Napoli have a Scudetto specialist at the helm but
00:31tonight Antonio Conte watches on from the stands due to a touchline ban. In theory
00:37it all comes down to this either Napoli or Inter will be champions come tonight
00:42but there is a third scenario were they to finish level on points we would have a
00:48playoff to decide the champion on Monday evening we are ready for Napoli against
00:53Cagliari at the Maradona.
01:00Antonio Conte's 11 picks itself at this stage of the season with Buongiorno and
01:04La Botca both still carrying injuries it is the same team that began the draw at
01:09Parma. David Neris may well feature in the second half especially if Napoli are
01:15chasing a goal. Di Lorenzo is looking to emulate Maradona by not only winning to
01:23Scudetti but also doing so as Napoli captain. A pair of alterations for Cagliari from their win over
01:33Venezia. Cagliari plays in goal with Napoli Loni and Elie Caprile out through injury and Viola also starts in place of Lovumbu who's also on the treatment table. Goals in the side from Piccoli who's got double figures.
01:48As decreed by the Italian Olympic Committee a minute silence for Nino Benvenuti who passed away aged 87.
02:05The season began for Napoli with Conte's now iconic words Amma Fatica let's get crafting the campaign will now end with Amma Venture it let's win the title.
02:20Another Politano corner Cagliari came to punch Adopo straight to Raspadori who tries his luck and he didn't miss by much.
02:34Not far away inches away from Raspadori great shot as usual no far away from the far post.
02:50Luktomene releasing Raspadori. Lukaku waits Raspadori's cross just too high for Zonboguiza.
03:11Viola with the ball in again Raspadori away then Politano gets distance.
03:15Algenlos lost it this is Spinazzola up on his own only Gilmour in support Spinazzola and now Billy Gilmour if he can finish.
03:28Politano blazes it over great counter-attack by Napoli massive mistake by Algello here and then
03:38they are clearest by Zortea plus Sherry and Politano should have scored.
03:46Politano, Zonboguiza, Raspadori shows for it this is Di Lorenzo for Lukaku and again Sherry gets in the way.
03:56Politano running at Algello, Politano's cross and here's Rachmani of all people, Rachmani kept out again by Sherry, Gilmour and the Tomine.
04:19Cagliari having to desperately clear their lines, Spinazzola found the cross.
04:29Gilmour straight to Zappa but surely Cagliari won't be holding out much longer than this, it's relentless pressure.
04:37Napoli do have time and from what we've seen so far from Cagliari they don't carry the same thread as Palma, at least not so far.
04:43Here's Romelu Lukaku, Mino is there so Sherry wasn't required.
04:49Magnificent block by Sherry Mino.
04:57Raspadori sends it in, Oliveira with the header, scored at that end of the ground famously against Seleni Tan.
05:04It looked like being the Scudetto winning goal a couple of seasons ago only for Boulatia to equalise later on.
05:10This time it's off target.
05:13Di Lorenzo, Napoli trying to inject a bit of pace into their play, Politano, Politano's cross, Sherry to Spinazzola, he'll try again here and somehow Zortea got a body in the way, still the chances mount up.
05:40Gilmour joining in, that's a clever ball.
05:50Zott Mungisar went with the outside of his right, might have been able to backheel it for Bictominet.
05:55Zott Mungisar went with the outside of his right, might have been able to backheel it for Bictominet.
06:02Spinazzola, good vision, Di Lorenzo.
06:13Politano taking on Algello, Politano delivers.
06:17It's Mungisar, Mungisar, Mungisar!
06:23Napoli's most valuable player.
06:28And if he is to be the MVP, then Scott Mungisar has scored the most significant goal of the season.
06:36It's in keeping with the campaign as a whole. It's been agony, they've suffered, but they lead against Cagliari.
06:48What a player he has been for Napoli this season. He made the difference, he's making the difference with another wonderful goal.
07:00Scott Mungisar just reached the last 16, they put the ball in the box.
07:05There will be, somebody's gonna eat it, and Offen is the number eight.
07:11Scott McTee, MVP, has quite the ring to it. Take it away, Scott McTominet.
07:17Come in!
07:28Algello offside meantime, Piccoli's not heard the whistle.
07:33Surely he must have wondered why no one was tracking his run there.
07:36Yeah, of course.
07:47Sortea.
07:56As things stand, Napoli are going to be Italian champions for the fourth time in their history.
08:01Scott McTominet, who else with the breakthrough?
08:04A scissor kick finish to give Napoli that all-important 1-0 lead.
08:09They are responding to Inter's result at the Senegalia.
08:12Cagliari doing their level best, but Napoli just wants it more tonight.
08:17At the break, they are 45 minutes away from glory.
08:20Napoli one, Cagli nil.
08:42What are you doing?
08:43What are you doing?
08:44What are you doing?
08:45What are you doing?
08:46What are you doing?
08:47What are you doing?
08:48What are you doing?
08:49What are you doing?
08:50What are you doing?
08:52What are you doing?
08:53What are you doing?
08:54What are you doing?
08:55What are you doing?
08:56What are you doing?
08:57What are you doing?
08:58What are you doing?
08:59What are you doing?
09:00What are you doing?
09:01What are you doing?
09:02What are you doing?
09:03What are you doing?
09:04What are you doing?
09:05What are you doing?
09:06What are you doing?
09:07What are you doing?
09:08What are you doing?
09:09What are you doing?
09:10What are you doing?
09:11so far so good for Napoli but if we've learned anything from the last couple of weeks
09:21as ever we wait to kick off simultaneously with Inter
09:34they're not far away now Napoli from that Ford Scudetto would be their second domestic crown
09:39in the space of three years Antonio Conte looking to emulate Luciano Spalletti but you and I watched
09:48as Napoli twice surrendered a lead against Genoa 1-0 it's not a safe scoreline
09:53Lukaku too strong and quick for Jeremina still Lukaku what a run this is from Romelu Lukaku
10:12and surely that does it now
10:18once a start of a Scudetto winning side under Conte at Inter but now he does it in Naples
10:29he'd been quiet up until now but that was vintage Lukaku and he recaptures his best form on the biggest night of the season
10:45that's Lukaku goal Patrick and this 99% mean Scudetto long ball one against one unstoppable
11:00with his power won a couple of physical challenges and then as cool as you like find the second goal
11:08and this means everything for all the Napoli football club they have learned their lesson from the Genoa game this
11:19time around they lead by two goals to nil and this was Lukaku in a nutshell
11:24way goes Lukaku again Mina won't catch him Lukaku for David Neres and Sherry makes the save
11:46that would have been game set match
11:48yeah but Patrick when Lukaku is his feet and you leave him one against one
11:53there is no a single defender at the moment that can stop the number 11
12:05Gilmore with the ball in Sherry straight to David Neres
12:09still Neres the queuing up and Lukaku puts it wide
12:15even if he was in an offside position but I think Adopo did at the end
12:21he managed Magriff's job pushing Lukaku enough to outbalance the big number 11
12:30well this change is so that Lukaku could get his flowers he can get his plaudits
12:41Conte demanded the signing of the big Belgian and he has done something that not
12:47even his great mate Tris Mertens Napoli's all-time leading goal scorer could do
12:51he is gonna win an Italian championship in Naples
12:57lovely give-and-go between Neres and Simeone David Neres running clear
13:08still there for David Neres and again it's another last-ditch challenge for Caglioni
13:17it could really be four or five nil already yeah
13:23but here goes Mina for Cagliari Deola's effort and finally Mert in the 91st minute has to say to make
13:32yeah he's doing his part Deola is always find a way to to be dangerous in the opposite box
13:54in by Marine Obet trying to deal with it they want the full-time whistle
14:19Napoli are champions again
14:25the season began with the slogan Amma Fatica
14:31let's get crafting it finishes with Amma Vichut we've won
14:37Antonio Conte proves he is the master at winning Serie A
14:45Scott McTominay and Romelu Lukaku the team's two top scorers have got the goal on a night when all Napoli needed was maximum points
14:56and for once they borrowed the slogan from their great rivals Juventus tonight winning was the only thing that mattered
15:04and it is two Scudetti in the space of three years
15:09and Napoli are now the force in the Italian game it ends here Napoli to Cagliari nil Napoli champions of Italy for the fourth time
15:21yes Patrick it is deserved because they have been more consistent throughout all the season than Inter
15:30they truly deserve because they made fewer mistakes compared to the Nerazzurri
15:35they were solid more determined and focused in the race for the domestic title and all credit goes to to Conte's staff they managed to get a team with zero confidence and self-belief
15:50taking them to the highest spot with their trademarks commitment hard work and resilience
15:56it is a very different championship win for Napoli to the one in 2023
16:03that was all about flair
16:06and style with Claricella and Ossiman leading the charge they cantered to victory
16:12this was all about the team the work ethic the discipline and desire
16:19Conte squeezing every last drop out of this group of players
16:23some had been there and done it and needed inspiring to go again
16:27others were tasting this league for the first time
16:30the likes of McTominay and Gilmour
16:33Antonio Conte now becomes a champion of Italy for the tenth time he has his own personal star
16:45five as a player with Juventus five as a coach now
16:49three with the Bianconeri once with Inter once now with Napoli which is extra special
16:54he and Lukaku vindicated
16:57they are a special combination and it means that Conte is the first ever coach
17:04to win the Italian domestic crown with three different clubs
17:08ladies
17:38There it is, the precious trophy that now has the name of Ese-Ese-Chi Napoli engraved
17:49upon it and with the arrival of the silverware so the trophy celebration can begin and the
18:00party can continue and here they come the Serie A 2024-25 champions Napoli, another
18:12iconic goal tonight en route to the Scudetto, the most valuable player in Serie A and Scott
18:18will swap the saltire of Scotland for the Scudetto of Italy.
18:28The man they'd all been waiting for, the man Conte wanted and signed and the man who
18:34marked tonight's victory over Canyone with a goal of his own, a typical goal befitting
18:41of the man Romelu Lukaku, I've not seen him smile that wide all season long, is there
18:53a better coach for winning domestic titles than Antonio Conte?
18:57If there is I'm yet to see one, that is now five Scudetti, three with Juventus, one with
19:04Inter and one with Napoli.
19:06Inter and one with the number 22, Giovanni Di Lorenzo.
19:07De Lorenzo's nearly forgotten the main man, the captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo, an inspired
19:25skipper during the third Scudetto's season Napoli are the Serie A winners for
19:432024 25 contest men have done it pipping into to the line and Giovanni
19:52Di Lorenzo emulates Diego Armando Maradona by being a Scudetto winning captain twice
20:00over it is but the start of celebrations which call will continue long until the
