Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Fiorentina, 8th position with 46 points and a positive goal difference of +6
Napoli, 1st position with 80 points and a positive goal difference of +46

Napoli are already Champions of Italy with 5 games to spare. Napoli celebrate in front of their fans also by winning the Serie A Week 34 game on Sunday 7 May 2023 at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Napoli, Italy. Napoli won the Scudetto 33 years after their previous one, on 29 April 1990. A wait second only to that experienced by Roma between winning the title in 1942 and 1983 in Serie A (41 years). The game is over and the second part of the party can begin. The three points for Napoli take them to 83 lengths, Fiorentina remain in eighth place at 46 points, tied by Monza and Turin.

A very long party begins both in the stadium and throughout the city. Field tour of Napoli players greeting their people.

Napoli, in their first outing as Italian champions, won against a very attentive and compact Fiorentina team who came close to scoring several times through Jovic in the first half. In the second half two penalties for the hosts, Osimhen misses the first, but the second places it under the crossbar giving the three points to Napoli.

Napoli have won only one of their last five home games in Serie A, while Fiorentina are unbeaten in their last two matches in the top flight against the Neapolitans. In the first leg, at the end of August at the Franchi, the match ended 0-0.

Great celebration for the Scudetto at Maradona where Fiorentina arrives as guest of honor. A match that on paper is an opportunity for Napoli to celebrate with their fans, while Viola will try to maintain eighth position in the league, with an eye to the semi-final first leg of the Conference League on Thursday against Basel.

1… 2… 3…
