Scott McTominay has become a hero at Napoli after scoring a spectacular scissor-kick volley to help Napoli beat Cagliari and take the club to their fourth Serie A title.
With second-placed Inter Milan leading 2-0 at Como, Napoli had to win to finish top of Serie A, with their supporters creating a sensational atmosphere at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
After the hosts dominated the opening stages, McTominay, who joined Napoli from Manchester United in a £25.7m move in August, made the breakthrough when he acrobatically connected with Matteo Politano's right-wing cross.
McTominay hooked in a fine acrobatic volley - his 12th goal of the season - to give Napoli the lead against Cagliari, before former Manchester United team-mate Romelu Lukaku made the game safe with a second.
That home win ensured they held off Champions League finalists Inter Milan to claim their fourth Serie A title.
Napoli knew a victory would see them become Italian champions for the second time in three seasons and Romelu Lukaku sealed it as he showed great strength and pace to hold off a challenge from Michel Adopo and slot the ball past Alen Sherri for the hosts' second.
That goal sparked great scenes of celebration with the Napoli substitutes and coaching staff running on to the pitch, while Lukaku received a yellow card for taking his shirt off.
The rest of the match was played in a party mood as Napoli celebrated becoming Italian champions again having done so in 1986-87, 1989-90 and 2022-23, before the trophy presentation.
"It happened again, and it's something wonderful," said Conte. "When we got to the stadium, it was honestly difficult to get in, as I don't know how many people were there. I had a slight thought, if we let these people down, it'd be something we carried with us for a long time.
"It was certainly the most unexpected, difficult and stimulating challenge of my career. To come to Napoli after 10th place [in 2023-24] and try to get everything back on track, and convince some of the best players to remain because we could do something positive."
McTominay scored 12 goals and contributed four assists throughout the campaign, with him named Serie A Player of the Season shortly after the conclusion of the game.
Scott McTominay was already a hero at Napoli after a season plundering goals - but as he collapsed to the ground in tears of joy after helping them to the Serie A title, he cemented his place as a legend of the club.
As soon after the final whistle went, the Scotland midfielder was named Serie A's Most Valuable Player (MVP) for 2024-25.
"I'm lost for words. It's incredible you know, the sacrifice that every single player in the group has put forward to the cause," said McTominay after the game.
"And the people deserve it because they've been behind us from day one, and for me to come and experience this is a dream."
Leaving United - the club where he had spent nearly all his life - for a new country last summer was a brave move. It now looks an inspired decision.
There have been tattoos, flags, cakes and even a shrine of McTominay. Fans wearing kilts too. Naples is a city that treats their heroes like gods - most notably Diego Maradona.
