👉 Napoli Champions of Italy win the Serie A Week 38 game on Sunday 4 June 2023 at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Naples, Italy. This is the first time in Serie A history that two teams with a difference of 68 points in the standings at the start of the day will face each other (87 for Napoli and 19 for Sampdoria); the last time the team with more than 60 points less than their opponents found success was on 8 May 2016 (Verona against Juventus).
Everything happens in the second half, Napoli unlocked the result thanks to the ingenuity of Murru who overwhelms Osimhen in the area, who scores the penalty in the 64th minute. The doubling goal arrives in the 85th minute with Diego Simeone who, served on the edge of the area by Raspadori, kicks towards the right post and puts it into the crossroads.
The party for the awarding of the Scudetto of Luciano Spalletti, who leaves the team with one last victory and with the quota of 90 points reached. Spalletti’s team ends its season with a victory thanks to goals from Osimhen and Simeone.
Napoli opened the score in the 64th minute. Forward Victor Osimhen converted a penalty defeating Sampdoria goalkeeper with a right-footed shot to the bottom right corner. The penalty is conceded by Nicola Murru.
"Not only is Victor Osimhen the first African to be named Capocannoniere in the history of Italian football… he eclipses his childhood hero George Weah as the highest scoring African player of all time in Serie A."'@victorosimhen9 has had a season to remember. 👑 🇳🇬 pic.twitter.com/FRlg8nR7RB

✅ Stats before the game: Napoli have won their last eight Serie A matches against Sampdoria; the Campania players have recorded a longer streak of consecutive successes in the top flight only against SPAL (11 between 1963 and 2019); on the other hand, for the blucerchiati it is the longest series of defeats in a row against a single opponent in the competition. Sampdoria’s last away success against Napoli in Serie A dates back to 19 April 1998 (2-0 with an own goal from Bertrand Crasson and a goal from Pierre Laigle): in fact, the Neapolitan side is the opponent that the blucerchiati have faced several times away home in the 2000s in the top flight without ever winning (14: 2D, 12P). Napoli have scored 49 goals in their last 19 games against Sampdoria in the top flight, an average of 2.6 goals per match. In the last 10 Serie A seasons, only one team has scored more goals on average against a single opponent (min. 10 goals): always Napoli, but against Bologna (2.8).
