Napoli finally placed the Scudetto back on the Serie A map after a 33-year wait, a triumph that etched itself into the club’s storied history with the era of Diego Armando Maradona still living in memory.
That long-awaited chapter was completed when Napoli claimed their third league title, sealing a remarkable renaissance for the club. The 2022-23 season marked Napoli’s return to the summit, a moment that echoed the club’s glory days when Maradona led them to the title in 1990. The triumph came as a culmination of months of consistent performances and a squad that clicked at both ends of the pitch.
Following a 1-1 draw with Udinese, the mathematics confirmed that Fiorentina could not reach Napoli on points, handing Los Azules a comfortable cushion as the league reached its natural conclusion. Napoli’s Scudetti now stand at 1986-87, 1989-1990, and 2022-23, a trio that highlights the highs of the club’s journey across different eras.

The last Scudetto prior to the recent triumph arrived in the 1989/1990 season. It took more than three decades for supporters to celebrate again as Napoli topped the table with 51 points. Milan trailed in second place with 49, while Inter finished third with 44 points, underscoring how tight the race panned out that season.
The championship icon was Diego Armando Maradona, who also finished as the team’s leading scorer with 16 goals. Careca, the Brazilian attacker, contributed ten goals and played a vital supporting role in that memorable campaign.
