Serie A
Napoli: The unforgettable party at the Diego Maradona for the third Scudetto in history
Naples’ spectacular Diego Armando Maradona fiesta included sparklers, tens of thousands of fans, Paolo Sorrentino and LIBERATO but not the trophy.
They were all there. Even Diego Maradona, by the name of the stadium. Napoli celebrated winning the third Italian division in their history right after beating Fiorentina on matchday 34 of Serie A, winning 1-0.
The evening was spectacular, starting with the victory celebration and the show by Victor Osimen. The Nigerian striker kicked off the first vocal part of the evening, with Neapolitan artists including Tutto Vero, written for the third scudetto of the ‘partenopei’.
Oscar winner and Neapolitan Paolo Sorrentino was there and called the people of the club, starting with the owner Aurelio de Laurentiis.
This was followed by presentations from each of the senior management and football departments, with Maradona’s long-time manager Tommy Scarace stealing the show.
The names of Hvitsa Kvaratthelia and Osimen caused the biggest decibels in the stadium, while Luciano Spalletti was also idolized. The Italy manager exchanged gifts with De Laurentiis following recent reports of a cold relationship.
The gift was a t-shirt with their faces on the front, a t-shirt worn by all Napoli players.
There were no trophies or medals as the ceremony will take place on Matchday 38, in the home game against Sampdoria on June 4th.
Instead there were commemorative photos, bugles, celebrations, sparklers, dances and songs.
The night ended with LIBERATO, the Italian singer from Naples who has never shown his face.
