Napoli clinched their first Serie A championship since the days of Diego Maradona.
Napoli needed just a draw in their away match against Udinese, and an equalizer in the 52nd minute from Victor Osimhen proved to be the title clincher as the score ended 1-1. Napoli now has an unbeatable 16-point lead in the table with just five games remaining.
It is Napoli's first Italian championship since 1990, which was led by the great Maradona near the end of his seven seasons with the club during the peak of his career.
The end of the championship drought could be seen and felt back in Naples, where Getty and Reuters photographers captured the wild celebrations. Take a look.
