On Thursday night 4th of May, 2023, Napoli secured their first Scudetto since 1990 with a 1-1 draw at Udinese, bringing immense joy to Neapolitans and making history for southern Italy. The win came after a draw with Salernitana on Sunday, which had left Lazio with a mathematical chance to overtake the runaway leaders. However, Napoli's lead of 16 points with just five games remaining in the season meant that the chance had disappeared.

The match against Udinese was a tough one, with Sandi Lovrić scoring a clinical finish from inside the penalty area on 13 minutes to rock Luciano Spalletti's side. Napoli struggled to create chances at the other end, although Victor Osimhen threatened with a couple of first-half headers. However, when the Nigeria striker pounced 12 minutes after half-time, calmly side-footing in a rebound, it sparked celebrations among thousands of travelling Napoli supporters. A video captured by @dstcanna shows the fans celebrating merrily.

"I'm happy for all Napoli fans worldwide," Osimhen said. "No one deserves the Scudetto more than Neapolitans - more than us. I don't care who scored, I just wanted to get the Scudetto."

"I want to enjoy this moment for the rest of my life. Then after the season my other dreams can come," Osimhen continued. "But for now, it's not a time to talk about my other dreams. I wanted to win this."

The victory is a historic moment for Napoli and southern Italy, as it is the first time a club south of Italy's traditional soccer capitals of Milan and Turin has won the league since Roma claimed the title in 2001. Over 50,000 supporters gathered at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Naples to watch the match on big screens. "

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis addressed the crowd before embracing the Naples Mayor Gaetano Manfredi, saying, "You always told me, 'We want to win,' and now we've won. We've won all together." De Laurentiis took over the club in 2004 when Napoli was declared bankrupt, restarting in the third division.
