Napoli won their third Serie A title, and their first in 33 years, on Thursday after a 1-1 draw at Udinese gave the Naples side an unassailable lead in the standings.

Since the Argentine great Diego Maradona led them to two championships in 1986–87 and 1989–90, Napoli had been without the Scudetto for a very long time.

With five games left in the season, a goal by Victor Osimhen in the second half gave Napoli the championship. 

With 80 points, Napoli has locked up first place in the standings. Lazio, who is in second place and has five more games to play, is 16 points behind Napoli. 

When Sandi Lovric opened the scoring after 13 minutes with a skillfully placed shot that found the top-right corner of the box, he deflated the spirits of Napoli supporters.

After Udinese's goal, Napoli stepped up their attack. In the 53rd minute, Osimhen sparked jubilant celebrations among the visiting fans when he fired in the equaliser from a rebound.

Piotr Zielinski attempted a half-volley, but Udinese goalkeeper Marco Silvestri made a save to stop it, keeping the score at 1-1 and prolonging the nervousness of the Napoli supporters.

As the final whistle blew, Napoli supporters rushed onto the pitch to celebrate the momentous occasion alongside the players.
