Thirty-three years between championships is a long time, and when the streak was finally broken, the city of Naples erupted in celebration.
The Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in Naples was open for fans to watch the game against Udinese on giant screens and a capacity crowd of more than 50,000 showed up, setting off fireworks at the final whistle.
Also, Napoli fans following the team at the Dacia Arena at Udine, in northern Italy, stormed the field after the game.
There was also a big crowd of fans at a Maradona mural in the downtown Quartieri Spagnoli neighborhood in Naples.
Here are some videos of the iconic celebration:

For the first time since Diego Maradona’s team of 1990, Napoli are kings of Serie A.
It gives you goosebumps. What it means to the club, the players, fans & the region. It was meant to be with Diego looking down from above.
The waiting is over. Beautiful ❤️#UdineseNapoli pic.twitter.com/okn6KSggdK
