It has been cheerful for days in the capital of southern Italy, since Pedri scored two goals to give Lazio a point against Inter.

 And now the celebration of Napoli’s fourth title has officially begun. In the last round of Serie A in Naples, Cagliari was defeated 2:0 (1:0), with which the Azzurri kept a point more than Inter, who simultaneously beat Como with 2:0.

Scott McTominay signaled the start of the great celebration with an extremely attractive goal in the 42nd minute. 

The stadium structure shook when, officially, 54,726 and probably more spectators jumped at Romelu Lukaku‘s goal in the 51st minute. 

The party lasted until the early morning hours, just like in 2023.

They waited at the foot of Vesuvius for 33 years for a new championship cup after the two that Diego Armando Maradona brought them, and then in three years they conquered Serie A twice. 

Unlike the season before last, when Luciano Spaletti led them brilliantly from the bench, and Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratchelia paved the way to the top, this trophy arrived as a much bigger surprise.

Before the start of the season, few people saw Napoli at the top. 

The biggest chances were given to Inter, but as time passed, Antonio Conte confirmed that the champion’s blood ran through his veins. 

Where he left off as a player with Juventus, he continued as a coach. 

Starting from the sixth round, the Partenopei spent 21 rounds as first in the table (Inter nine) and absolutely deservedly won the fourth scudetto in history. 

They took advantage of the relief of not playing in Europe. 

Antonio Conte sat down, inserted 30,500,000 euros into the machine, pulled the handle, and won the jackpot. 

As a jackpot, he received the Scottish midfielder Scott McTominay, who was declared the best football player of Serie A in the 2024/25 season.

The former Manchester United player beat Mateo Retegui and Kean in the race for the MVP award by scoring 12 goals and six assists this season. 

One of those goals was in the last round against Cagliari, which brought the title to Napoli. 

After exactly 120 years, a Scottish football player won Serie A. With McTominay, Billy Gilmore managed to do it, who also arrived this year for 14,000,000 euros, with 4,750,000 in bonuses. 

The two became the first Scots since Jack Dimento and James Square, who won the title with Juventus in 1905, the first in history for the club from Turin.

No one expected that there could be a dramatization when it comes to the battle for the Champions League in the last round. 

Not even the most optimistic fans of Roma, because Juventus was a guest, against the already relegated Venice. 

However, the supporters of the Old Lady had to lose a lot of nerves watching the clash of the last round, because Juventus reached three points with much difficulty and secured the desired fourth place, 3:2 (2:1).

The giant from Turin first had a deficit result and then lost the advantage of one goal.

 but in the end, it managed to break Eusebi di Francesco‘s fighting team, with Manuel Locatelli‘s goal from the penalty spot. 

All the while, Roma’s chance to reach the elite competition was lurking for them, who routinely got the job done in Turin, with goals from Leandro Paredes and Alexis Saelemaekers. 

At times, Claudio Ranieri’s team reached fourth place during the 90 minutes, but ultimately had to settle for fifth place and placement in the Europa League.

The biggest loser of the last round was Lazio, which managed to lose to Lecce at Olimpico (0:1) with a player from more than 45 to 93 minutes.

So Fiorentina overtook it, thanks to the celebration over Udinese in Friuli (3:2), and secured participation in the Conference League.

Rome, Venice, and Turin trembled due to the struggle for the remaining European rhymes, and the struggle for survival was no less dramatic. 

Five teams feared the fate that Monza experienced, and in the end, Empoli and Venezia suffered.

Empoli saved itself last season by winning over Roma in the last round; this time it did not succeed. 

He regained hope for another miracle with two consecutive triumphs – previously, he had none for half a year. 

Still, he was defeated (2:1) in a direct clash with Verona at his Carlo Castellani, and after four years of living in the elite rank, he returned to Serie B.
