Naples was partying again. This time he was able to do it with his players, turned into heroes, and after a hard-fought victory on a day in which, yes, the result was the least of it. The atmosphere in the Diego Armando Maradona and its surroundings was already before the total festive start due to the team and city meeting already as champions.

The corridor of the ‘Fiore’ as a sign of respect and the brief ceremony in a full blue stadium gave way to a glee party in the southern town in which Spalletti brought in not very common players.

However, the technician kept Osimhen as a starter so that the striker could continue scoring goals and thus approach the goal of becoming the first African ‘capocannoniere’ in Serie A in history.

The Nigerian did not miss his appointment with the goal, but he had to miss two occasions before which he is not used to forgiving. First, a penalty saved by Terraciano, not too well executed on his part, and then a Vaseline that he dribbled before coming on and ran into the crossbar.

It seemed that the goal was going to resist an Osimhen who did not stop looking for it, but his faithful squire, Kvartaskhelia, appeared at the key momentwho came on as a substitute and after the injury of ‘Chuky’ Lozano, to provoke the second penalty of the afternoon.

Despite the previous mistake, no one in the entire city doubted that the pitcher would be Osimhen. So it was. This time he did not forgive from eleven meters and scored his 23rd goal of a spectacular season in which he has also provided four assists so far.

The ‘Fiore’, who in the first part was able to get ahead on the scoreboard with several occasions Taking advantage of a Neapolitan eleven with many substitutes, he remained faithful to his game during the second half, in which he also had chances to equalize the clash.

However, just as it was last Thursday, this Sunday was the afternoon of a Naples that continues to party and that will continue like this for quite some time, celebrating a historic title -33 years after the last one- with a victory in front of their fans, in orn Diego Armando Maradona full, dedicated and to whom his team “owed” a proper celebration.The referee’s final whistle sparked the second massive party of the week. It will not be the last because, at least, there is one prepared for the last day.

The ‘Fiore’, meanwhile, remains eighth with 46 points, twelve behind Roma and Atalantastill far from a fight for the European places that seems increasingly complicated for the ‘Viola’ with four days to go.
