Maurizio Sarri's Napoli were put out of their misery on Sunday, as Juventus clinched the Serie A title with one game of the season to play.
Napoli's deserved 2-0 triumph at Sampdoria was not enough to maintain a Serie A title challenge as Juventus' latest triumph was confirmed on Sunday.
Victory away at Juve looked to have given Napoli the opportunity to push all the way for a first Scudetto since 1990, but a failure to win either of the subsequent two matches put paid to their challenge.
And so, with Juventus drawing at Roma, a dominant Napoli display at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris counted for little, despite a marvellous strike from substitute Arkadiusz Milik just 75 seconds after his introduction that was followed by a Raul Albiol header.
