Napoli win Serie A as Scott McTominay's sensational goal helps Antonio Conte makes scudetto history (video)
There was a Premier League flavor to Napoli's scudetto-clinching 2-0 win over Cagliari on Friday, as Scott McTominay and Romelu Lukaku scored to give the Neapolitans a second Serie A title in three seasons.
The ex-Manchester United men were joined on the field by Chelsea export Billy Gilmour, ex-Fulham man Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa, and eventually former Bournemouth leader Philip Billing as Napoli finished their domestic campaign with 82 points.

That's one more than last season's champions Inter Milan, who also won Friday. Inter now turn their attention to the upcoming UEFA Champions League Final versus Paris Saint-Germain in Munich.
Serie A's first- and second-place teams closed their domestic seasons on Friday, with two more matches planned for Saturday and the remaining six held at 2:45pm ET Sunday.
Napoli manager Antonio Conte has now led three teams to scudetti after winning times with Juventus and once with Inter. He's also coached Bari to a Serie B crown and Chelsea to a Premier League Trophy.
Conte is the first to win scudetti with three teams and his five Serie A crowns tie Fabio Capello and Marcello Lippi for third-most all-time. Max Allegri (six) and Giovanni Trapattoni (seven) lead the way.

Rams named potential landing spot for recently-released star CB
Rams named potential landing spot for recently-released star CB The Los Angeles Rams didn't make many changes to their secondary and could be looking to add a veteran ahead of the 2025 NFL season. While most eyes are on the Miami Dolphins and one-time ex-Rams star Jalen Ramsey, there is another name out there who could be on the Rams' radar: Jaire Alexander. The Green Bay Packers recently released the two-time Pro Bowler after seven seasons when they couldn't find a trade partner or agree to a new contract. In the wake of this news, Pro Football Focus' Trevor Sikkema named the Rams as a potential landing spot for Alexander for the same reasons as Ramsey: They need star power in the secondary. "The Rams surprisingly didn't make any changes at cornerback this offseason," Sikkema wrote. "Darious Williams (865), Cobie Durant (843) and Ahkello Witherspoon (598) played the most snaps at cornerback for the team last season, but none earned a PFF coverage grade above 62.0. "Alexander is the kind of veteran whom Los Angeles has been interested in before. The team traded for fellow star cornerback Jalen Ramsey in 2019, which proved a worthwhile addition. A move for Alexander wouldn't be as big of a splash, but it would be in the Rams' wheelhouse." The pros and cons of adding Alexander are obvious: He's elite when he's healthy, but he's expensive and recently very injury-prone. Alexander is only 28 but played just 14 games over the past two seasons. He tallied 10 interceptions in his first five seasons but just one in his past two. If the Rams add him, it will likely be for less than he could get elsewhere. But if he wants to chase a ring, the Rams offer a path to that possibility.

Arsenal join Alejandro Garnacho race with Man United wonderkid keen to remain in England
Manchester United are focussing on player sales before turning their attention towards signing a striker, and plenty of big-name stars like Alejandro Garnacho are expected to make way. The Argentine was a regular under Ruben Amorim last season, playing 40 times under the new head coach, but the pair have not always seen eye-to-eye. Advertisement Their first altercation came before the Manchester derby last year, and the second came when the Argentina international reacted badly after his early substitution against Ipswich Town, which again led to tensions. But his comments after the Europa League final snub proved to be the final straw after which the Portuguese tactician asked him to find a new club in the summer. Alejandro Garnacho on his way out Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano recently even confirmed that the 20-year-old would indeed be leaving Old Trafford in the summer with three Premier League clubs monitoring proceedings with interest. Advertisement We already know Chelsea are long-term admirers, while Aston Villa have also been recently linked with a move for the Carrington graduate. Respected Argentine journalist Gaston Edul has now revealed the identity of the third club in question — Arsenal. There is interest from Napoli, who came close to securing his signature in January, while multiple Saudi Pro League sides including Al-Nassr are also keen. Arsenal join the race Atletico Madrid, and Bayer Leverkusen, who recently appointed Erik ten Hag as boss, are also eager to get a deal for Alejandro Garnacho over the line but as per Edul, the United No.17 wants to stay in the Premier League. Advertisement 'Two of the three clubs that enquired about Garnacho are Chelsea and Arsenal. Garnacho has a preference to stay in the Premier League.' INEOS were initially demanding at least £50 million for the ex-Atletico Madrid academy ace, and whether they up his asking price to avoid the prospect of selling to a direct rival remains to be seen. United fans will be bitterly disappointed to see one of their own leave for a fierce rival but it is clear that the wonderkid has no future under Amorim.
