A title with a special flavour

After their success in 2023, Antonio Conte's Napoli confirmed that they can win even under maximum pressure, becoming champions of Italy for the fourth time in their history.

Conte's masterpiece

Antonio Conte becomes the first coach to win Serie A with three different clubs (Juventus, Inter and Napoli), adding his fifth national title to his already rich trophy cabinet.

Protagonists and statistics

• Scott McTominay: new idol of the Azzurri fans, with 12 goals in the championship and awarded as MVP of the season; his arrival in August revolutionized the Neapolitan midfield.
• Romelu Lukaku: second season as leader in attack, he closed the championship with 18 goals and scored the decisive goal in the final.

The reactions and celebrations

Naples in delirium
