Napoli closed the historic period in which they won the ‘scudetto’ with success after 33 years of endless waiting. In a meaningless match at the Diego Maradona stadium, the Partenopean team, which had won a few days earlier, lost to the bottom and relegated Sampdoria (2-0) that afternoon Luciano Spalletti said goodbye to the bench despite winning the title with a 16-point lead over Lazio.

He scored his 26th goal, five more than Lautaro Martínez (Inter), midway through the second half after causing of punishment by falling from behind Nicola Murru.

Until then the game had passed largely without notable occasions as Napoli completely dominated the game but it lacked depth and intensity.

The fans are also not asking for their idols while waiting for the big party to celebrate the title following the match.

The entrance of Gianluca Gaetano and Giacomo Raspadori, before Osimhen’s goal, gave Napoli more intensity and joy. Gaetano had several chances in a row that forced the goalkeeper to show off Martin Turk.
