Napoli is Italian champion – Diepresse.com

SSC Napoli is in the club history of Italian football champions for the fourth time. The team of coach Antonio Conte won the home game of the 38th and last series-A round against Cagliari 2-0 on Friday and thus held a point at a distance. The defending champion no longer helped a 2-0 win at Como. ÖFB team striker Marko Arnautovic came on with the winners in the 73rd minute, Matthias Braunöder was sitting on the bench with the losers.

Scott McTominay with a side puller (42nd) laid the foundation for Napoli’s victory just before the break whistle. Immediately afterwards, Romelu Lukaku (51.) made everything clear with a single performance after a long ball. The 14th goal of the season of the 32-year-old Belgian was therefore a very special one. For the former club of Diego Maradona, it was the second title win within three years. Before 2023, Napoli also won the « Scudetto » in 1987 and 1990.

Excitement was quickly gone after the break

Inter was at least for some time on master course. Stefan de Vrij (20th) was successful after a Calhanoglu deck ball via header. Shortly before the break, Como’s goalie Jose Reina was excluded for goal brings. The 2: 0 (51.) fell in the same minute as in the parallel game. Joaquin Correa entered the shooting list. After that, both teams were no longer in danger, the master tension was outside so early.

This was also protected by the nerves of Conte or Inters Simone Inzaghi, which, due to barriers, had to cheer for exclusions in the past round in the stands. The big trump card of the Southern Italians was the defensive, only 27 goals in 38 games underline this. The Milanese helped the best goal yield of 79 hits, for them there was a damper before the Champions League final on Saturday (9:00 p.m.) next week in Munich against Paris St. Germain.

Napoli was spared a decision -making game on a neutral soil that would have existed in the event of a points. (APA)
