Napoli are champions of Italy. The Neapolitan team has won the third Scudetto in its history and the city is literally exploding. The joy of the fans is uncontainable, the whole city is invaded by a blue wave made up of thousands and thousands of cheering people. For some days already, the Neapolitan accommodation facilities have been besieged by tourists from nearby municipalities and a bit from all over Italy waiting for today's big party. After last Sunday's missed party, the Neapolitans honor their football faith with celebrations in grand style that have been planned for weeks.
Third championship for Napoli
A human tide is celebrating in the historic districts of the center, on the seafront, in the suburbs. Choirs, flags, smoke bombs, blue T-shirts, victorious slogans, in this incessant carousel there is no shortage of memories for the great Diego Armando Maradona who in the eighties gave the team the first two championships Neapolitan. A dutiful tribute to a mythical figure who for Naples is almost like San Gennaro, a character worthy only of veneration. Nothing else matters.
In order to celebrate the third championship, the fans had to wait for the end of tonight's match against Udinese to have the mathematical certainty of the longed-for victory. A heart-pounding expectation that charged the fans even more, eager to be able to express their love for their beloved sports team to the nth degree. A beloved team even among the Neapolitans who emigrated to Europe and America, a blue fever that has crossed the Italian borders and has also reached overseas. Naples festively decorated and with something blue in every corner is experiencing a great moment of collective emotion, an event that will remain in the history of the city and not just in that of football.
