Napoli won their first Serie A title for 33 years as they drew with Udinese at Dacia Arena to spark jubilant celebrations, thanks to Nigerian Star Striker, Victor Osimhen’s equalizer.
They last won the league in 1990 with a Diego Maradona-inspired side adding to their first title three years earlier.
Victor Osimhen smashed in a 52nd minute equaliser after Sandi Lovric had given Udinese a shock lead and Napoli held on to the point they needed to win their third Serie A title with five games to spare.
The trophy ended three decades of hurt for the Naples. Napoli’s previous two titles came in the days of Argentina legend Maradona, whom their stadium is now named after, in 1987 and 1990 respectively.
Following those glory days the club fell into financial decline, relegation and bankruptcy; playing in Serie C as recently as 2006.
They have won the Coppa Italia three times in the past 11 seasons but it is the Scudetto the Napoli fans always craved.
However, with the new cast of superstars, headed by Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen who have so far bagged 22 goals in 27 league games and Georgia winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia contributing 12 goals and 10 assists. The Naples will be grateful to Osimhen who’s goals helped
them reclaim Glory 33 years since the days of Maradona.
At 64, Head Coach Luciano Spalletti, who twice won the Coppa Italia with Roma, becomes the oldest manager to win Serie A.
