Napoli won the league's final match to secure the Serie A title on their own. Before the match, Napoli had one point difference from second-place Inter Milan. Only by winning the final match was it possible to confirm the championship on its own, but it was possible to lift Scudetto with the players' performance. It is the first time in two seasons that Napoli has won the league since the last 2022-2023 season. At that time, Napoli won the league for the first time in 33 years with the performances of Kim Min-jae, Victor Osimhen, and Hbachi Kvaratshelia.
The main players in this victory were the newly recruited McTominay and Lukaku. McTominay was treated like a half-hearted player at Manchester United until last season. Due to growth that did not meet expectations, he ended up leaving for Naples. However, McTominay has been at the heart of Napoli's midfield this season. Under Conte, he was reborn as a top Serie A midfielder. McTominay was also named MVP of the league's final game.
Lukaku once again reached the top of Serie A by joining forces with his teacher Conte. The two have already won the title at Inter Milan as teachers and disciples, and Conte reunited ahead of this season, calling Lukaku Napoli. Lukaku again showed outstanding performance and contributed greatly to his teacher's winning journey.
