Chucky Lozano is perched on the cusp of history, closing in on becoming the first Mexican to lift Serie A’s Scudetto. Across the old continent, the forward from El Tri is shaping a landmark moment that could redefine Mexican football on Europe’s premier stage.
Napoli, led by Luciano Spalletti, sits firmly atop the table after 32 rounds with 79 points, leaving their nearest challengers far behind. The gap is wide enough that only an unforeseen collapse could deny the Partenopei the crown in Italy’s top flight.

What does Chucky need to clinch the title?
Napoli’s record speaks for itself: 25 wins, four draws, and just three losses. That tally translates into an almost mythical points haul, underscoring how dominant the team has been this season.
Even after a surprising 32nd-round draw with Salernitana, Napoli still holds a simple path to glory: secure at least one point from the remaining 18 on offer. That minimal target would seal the Scudetto with games still to spare, keeping the dream alive for fans and the squad alike.
On Thursday, May 4, Napoli travels to the Friuli Stadium in Udine. A win or a draw there would push them over the line and end a 33-year wait for the title, a drought that dates back to the Maradona era in 1990. The prospect of ending that wait is a unifying moment for the club and its supporters, and a historic milestone for Lozano personally.
With the title virtually secured, Napoli still has fixtures to navigate: clashes against Fiorentina, Monza, Inter, Bologna, and Sampdoria remain on the schedule. Each match offers a chance to cap a remarkable season with a triumphant finish, while also shaping Napoli’s momentum for the next campaign.
