Last night, the soccer universe truly witnessed something really special. While the English Premier League is quite popular for having ‘the’ iconic soccer moments, it isn’t them this time. For this glorious moment, we travel all the way to Italy. After last night’s fixtures, the Italian soccer league unveiled its brand-new winner for the 2022-23 season.
Considering Juventus’ horrific season and the Milan duo’s shaky season as well, the winner was outside the usual suspects. For the first time in 33 years, Napoli lifted the Scudetto!

Last night, the City of Naples was an absolute delight to watch. Let’s dive deeper into everything related to Napoli!
The skies of Naples are worth a watch!
It has been an incredible run for Luciano Spalletti and the boys. The boys in blue managed to secure the Serie A title with five games to go. Considering their epic run this season, Victor Osimhen was by far their best player of the season. It was a ‘cherry on the cake’ moment for the Nigerian striker after his equalizer yesterday secured the title for his club.
Whoever sells fireworks in Naples is a very rich man tonight.. 😍🎇

This is only Napoli’s third title in their club history. The last two title wins were in the 1986-87 and 1989-90 seasons respectively. That was a special era in Napoli’s soccer history, as Diego Maradona was the star of the team.
Despite winning the title after thirty-three years, the fans will never forget the days when the Argentine soccer legend worked his magic in their bright blue jersey, similar to Victor Osimhen this season.
Soccer fans go crazy all across the globe!
The fans on social media have gone berserk too. Last night, the sky in Naples was definitely worth the watch. Several videos on social media went viral immediately. Let’s have a look at how the fans reacted to the same.
And dogs flee in terror.

Quite a few mixed reactions in there, isn’t it? While a few fans were wittingly concerned about the dogs in Naples, the rest of them couldn’t be happier to witness such a glorious moment in soccer. Without a doubt, Victor Osimhen is their best player. The Nigerian striker managed to score 22 goals in just 27 league games this season!
The jury is still out there on whether Osimhen will remain in Italy next season to repeat the glory. But for now, there’s nothing but fireworks all around!
