Juventus sent a back-handed compliment to Napoli after their Serie A rivals landed their first league title in 33 years.
Napoli secured the Scudetto on Thursday with a 1-1 draw away to Udinese clinching the title. They were crowned as victors with five rounds of action still remaining in the Serie A campaign, sparking wild celebrations in their home city and across Italy.
It was just the third league title in Napoli’s history and their first since 1990, with the previous two won with and spearheaded by the iconic Diego Maradona. Their success represents somewhat of a power shift in Italian football.
