It’s championship season! Just ask Naples, Italy!

After a Thursday 1-1 draw against Udinese, Napoli clinched its first Italian Serie A championship in 33 years.

Heading into the game with a whopping 16-point lead on the table with five matches left on the schedule, Napoli only needed a draw to win the Scudetto. After Serie A top scorer and Napoli player Victor Osimhen equalized the game in the 52nd minute for the Blues and the team held on until the 90th minute, the club and their fans got their wish as they clinched the league championship.

Napoli’s third title in Italy’s top soccer division is also the first since the legendary Diego Maradona led the team to championships in each 1987 and 1990.

“Napoli, this is for you,” said Napoli manager Luciano Spalletti. “There are people here who will be able to get through difficult moments in their lives because they remember this moment. These people deserve all the joy.” (RELATED: ‘Has The S**ts’: Logan Webb Says The San Francisco Giants Have Stomach Problems After Trip To Mexico City)

So much glory … just so much glory.
