Diego Armando Maradona’s profile on Instagram reacted to the Italian title of the Napoli, won this Thursday after the 1-1 draw against Udinese. This is the third Scudetto won in the team’s history.
“A new unforgettable date, a new joy for the city, for the people, for history. Thanks to all of you guys! LET’S GO NAPLES”, wrote the account of the Argentine star.
Napoli’s title arrived five rounds in advance. The Naples club has 80 accumulated points, 16 more than Lazio, who come second with 64 points and were the only team that could reach Napoli entering the 33rd round.
The last Scudetto won by Napoli had been in the 1989-90 season, when Maradona was the big name in the squad. The first title, which came in 1986-87, also featured the brilliance of Argentina’s eternal number 10 shirt.
In the 1990-91 season, however, Maradona left the Italian club after being caught in the anti-doping test and being punished by FIFA, ending the golden era of Napoli. When he returned to the pitch, the Argentine was already a Sevilla athlete.
