The 2021-22 campaign was a season of transition and attacking brilliance for Lazio as the Biancocelesti secured a crucial 5th-place finish in Serie A, earning a spot in the UEFA Europa League. Leading the charge was their talismanic captain Ciro Immobile, whose incredible league-leading 27 goals earned him the prestigious Capocannoniere title for the fourth time. The season, marking the start of the Maurizio Sarri era, was built on his distinct "Sarrismo" attacking philosophy and the outstanding midfield contributions of Sergej Milinković-Savić, re-establishing Lazio as a major force in the top-six race.
