Napoli raised the Serie A trophy to the sky on the final day of the Italian championship, June 4, 2023.
Waving flags and wearing the Napoli jersey, fans gathered in the central Piazza del Plebiscito to watch the 2-0 victory over Sampdoria and the final award ceremony on big screens.
Napoli had clinched its first Serie A title in 33 years with five rounds to spare but had to wait until the final day of the season to be presented with the trophy, in front of its own fans at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
Players danced joyously as they each took their turns lifting the scudetto, while the song “We Are The Champions” was played.
Napoli signed off from a stunning season with a 2-0 win over already-relegated Sampdoria, in a match where on-the-field action mattered little.
Sunday saw another round of festivities in Naples, a city that hasn’t really stopped celebrating since even before Napoli clinched the title.
And, just like most of the past month, the streets were packed with joyous Napoli fans, chanting and waving flags, and the air was tinged in blue — the team’s colors — from flares. (Reuters)
