Luciano Spalletti’s team overcame a first-half deficit, with Sandi Lovric scoring for Udinese. Victor Osimhen’s crucial goal in the second half propelled Napoli to victory, reminiscent of the Diego Maradona-led teams that won the league in 1987 and 1990.

Napoli will receive a warm welcome in Naples, with festivities likely to continue until their next home game against Fiorentina on Sunday evening.
