They had been waiting for this for 33 years. The Neapolitans set the streets of their city on fire on Thursday, May 4, to celebrate their title of Italian football champion, obtained five days from the end of the championship thanks to a draw against Udine (1-1).

The party, delayed on Sunday by a late goal from Salernitana (1-1), started even before the final whistle at the foot of Vesuvius, in the streets of the city center as well as on the stands of the Neapolitan stadium where more than 50 000 tifosi had gathered to follow the match on a giant screen.
