Napoli have won the Serie A! They waited more than three decades, but on Thursday night, they finally sealed the title after avoiding defeat in Udine. The loudest party in Italy has officially started!OSIMHEN HAS SCORED FOR NAPOLI 🔥IS THIS THE MOMENT?! pic.twitter.com/q89hKh1K6j— ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) May 4, 2023 They haven’t got the GOAT Diego Maradona anymore, but Napoli fans have modern heroes to serenade for decades. Victor Osimhen scored the crucial goal for his team at Stadio Friuli. In a match they only needed a point from, Luciano Spalletti’s team started off poorly and found themselves behind just 13 minutes in. Sandi Lovric hit a marvellous shot into the top far corner to give Udinese the lead in a game you could call irrelevant just by looking at the league table. But, boy, was it important!The scenes inside Stadio Diego Armando Maradona when Victor Osimhen scored 🥳 pic.twitter.com/hKiG5DXPYm— B/R Football (@brfootball) May 4, 2023 This will be going on all night long in Naplespic.twitter.com/VtP1XkGSwJ— COPA90 (@Copa90) May 4, 2023 Naples fêtes ses héros. 🇮🇹😍🎇🎥 @prs_emilie pic.twitter.com/rGngXCwV8z— Actu Foot (@ActuFoot_) May 4, 2023 Udinese fans have a long-standing “misunderstanding” with the Neapolitans, so they saw this game as a perfect opportunity to spoil the party for the estimated 13,000 Napoli fans who made the 840-kilometre trip to the northeast of Italy. So, the black-and-whites celebrated the opening goal as if it’s just won them the cup.Victor Osimhen has equalled George Weah’s record for the Highest African Goalscorer in Serie A with 46 goals.He has also broken Samuel Eto’o record for the Most Goals Scored by an African Player in a Single Serie A Season with 22 goals. pic.twitter.com/KtAU9Im5U6— Africa Facts Zone (@AfricaFactsZone) May 4, 2023 But just as it’s been for most of the season, Nigerian star Osimhen turned up when his team needed him the most. The Super Eagles striker levelled shortly after the break with a simple finish into the roof of the net to put Napoli on course to the title. Napoli fans rejoiced in the ground, but there was a lot more noise back home, where the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona was packed with fans watching the game on big screens set up around the iconic stadium’s pitch. On this famous turf, the great Argentine turned Napoli from a mid-table side to Scudetto winners in one of the best-remembered football fairy tales. Napoli’s legendary captain was present in the spirit in the city he’s still adored as a divinity.Se cae el Maradona… pic.twitter.com/N7OxVDmDz3— Pipe Olcina (@PipeOlcina17) May 4, 2023 Ancient volcano Vesuvius was dormant for 33 years, but tonight it has erupted with joy.
