Napoli win Serie A for first time since Diego Maradona's glory days despite Juventus U-turn

Napoli have finally been crowned Serie A champions after securing a 1-1 draw with Udinese on Thursday evening.

They came from behind to secure a draw in Udine, with emotional celebrations breaking out across Italy in Naples. It is the first time Napoli have won the league since the legendary Diego Maradona starred for them in the 1990 and 1987 campaigns.

They have come close to lifting the title on several occasions in recent years, twice under Maurizio Sarri and once under Carlo Ancelotti. However, they have finally managed to get over the line under Luciano Spalletti this season, having enjoyed an outstanding campaign that has seen them drop just 19 points all season.
