Read Time:35 Second

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.

In a keenly contested game, Sandi Lovric of Udinese scored first, in the 13th minute. Upon resumption in the 2nd half, Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen levelled up for Napoli FC in the 52nd minute.

Napoli’s triumph ended the city’s long wait for the Scudetto since Argentine great Diego Maradona led them to two championships in 1986-87 and 1989-90.

Now with 80 points, Napoli’s closest rival, Lazio cannot catch up with them with only 5 matches left to play in the league.
