Napoli won their first Italian Serie A title in 33 years, clinching the Scudetto on Thursday with a 1-1 draw at Udinese. Needing only a draw to take an unassailable 16-point lead with five games remaining, Serie A's top scorer, Victor Osimhen, equalised for Napoli in the 52nd minute to spark wild celebrations throughout Naples, inside the stadium in Udine and beyond.
The title is Napoli's third in Italy's top division and their first since the legendary Argentine player Diego Maradona led them to championships in 1987 and 1990. Napoli's home stadium was renamed in Maradona's honour following his death in November 2020. Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti said the impact of Maradona was "felt in this success. Napoli, this is for you," he added.
