Just 22 minutes. Just 22 minutes was champion El Inter on Friday when the 'Scudetto' in Italy resolved. Just 22 minutes lasted to the whole of Inzaghi the joy because a Scottish disguised again the Argentine God at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium. It was Scott McTominay who invented a goal, a wonderful goal that gave him the fourth league title Thanks to that Chilean plastic – the former Manchester United player was even grabbed – in the midst of a volcanic climate, with the city of southern Italy burning.
Naples ends, with 82 points, one more than Inter (81). The League that has dominated Conte, a coach who knew how to overcome the absence of Kvarathskhelia, transferred in the winter market to Paris SG to train front with Dembélé and Barcola.
Conte, five titles with three different clubs
A tournament where the interist team collapsed unexpectedly. And contest is the only coach who has won the 'Scudetto' with three different clubs: Juventus (2011-12, 12-13, 13-14), Inter (20-21) and now Naples (24-25). That is, he added his fifth League, which ended up crying in an endless hug with Lukaku, one of the key players in the conquest of this 'Scudetto'.
Thus began the game the team of the sanctioned Conte -watched it from the gallery, far from the bench -, with an offensive soccer outburst that lasted the entire first half. Ober, or so I intended, to what was happening in the-Inter. Although De Vrij's goal (m. 20) brought silence to the Maradonian stadium. It was inevitable that anguish seized Naples until McTominay appeared, a guy who has already entered the Neapolitan eternity.

AThe tenth shot -Yes, tenth !! – – The first Neapolitan goal arrived that filled the chaotic city partial of smoke, flares and a dazzling red in night.
The exhibition of the first part, with a choral game lesson, daring, dynamic and solid – the Cagliari or stepped on the Meret area – had a furious exit in the second when Lukaku, un bison transformed en delatero center, He dictated an exercise of power and lucidity to take the former Yerry Mina ahead and sign the 2-0.
He was a ball hanging from the Neapolitan defense, without much sense, to which the Belgian scorer power filled him with value and efficiency. It was useless that Inter, taking advantage of the expulsion of Pepe Reina, the goalkeeper of Cesc, in his last official party, expanded his rent, and thanks to Correa, the author of 0-2.
That game was actually played in Naples. The Inter did his job, but it was a sterile work because life had been complicated in the last two months. And it was there when he lost the league. Not only on the last day.

What happened there was an anecdote because Conte's team grabbed the ball with such fierceness that transformed a final into a fun night, full of passion and, above all, infinite connection with thousands and thousands of fans. Both in the stadium and in the streets of the city.
The Naples of Conte has removed the League at Inter de Inzaghi, who aspired to triple and, for the moment, it goes 0 of 2. He ran out of the Italian Cup (lost with Milan for a blunt 3-0), he now stayed without the 'Scudetto' and plays it all next Saturday, May 31 in the Champions League final in Munich before the Paris Sg of Luis Enrique.

He knew how to manage delicately and, in addition, with cunning the Naples that final. He entered big with a spectacular first part in which he cornered the Cagliari, which he dehumanized with his game. And then, after the break, he took his first opportunity to expand the rent transforming the final 40 minutes into a wonderful countdown towards glory.
Two 'Scudettos' Maradona gave Naples. Two 'scudettos' has achieved Naples without Diego.
