Napoli sealed the Scudetto or Serie A trophy this season. The draw against Udinese 1-1 in the 33rd match at the Friuli Stadium, Udine, Friday, May 5, was enough for Napoli not to be overtaken by his rivals.
Napoli sealed the title because 80 points from 33 Il Partenopei matches were no longer possible to be chased by Lazio's closest competitor who now collects 64 points with five matches remaining, according to the Italian League records reported via Antara.
This success also ended the 33-year wait for Napoli to experience the Scudetto again, after last winning the Italian League title in 1990.
"The problem for those who are used to working hard like I did is that we are struggling to enjoy the full victory. There is always more work to be done, so that joy quickly passes," Spalletti told DAZN.
"Seeing the Partenopei smile and joy is the biggest emotion for me. They are the ones who inherit their happiness. The problem reaches this point, like when you feel the whole city burdens you. There are people here who will be able to get through the difficult times in their lives because of this moment. These people deserve all the joy. "
"That's probably making me feel more relaxed now, we can give them that joy," he continued.
In the match against Udinese, Napoli fell behind due to Sandi Lovric's goal in the first half, but were saved from defeat thanks to Victor Osimhen's goal.
Napoli were recorded to have appeared dominant in this match by recording 65 percent possession and releasing seven of them on target.
In this match Udinese took the initiative to attack first and was able to break into Napoli's goal when the game had only been running for 15 minutes.
Starting from a pass sent by Destiny Udogie, Sandi Lovric was able to release a hard kick that Alex Meret could not reach so the score changed to 1-0.
Lovric again posed a threat to Napoli through a hard kick released from outside the penalty box, but the ball was saved by Meret.
Once depressed, Napoli turned a threat through Victor Osimhen's header using Elf Elmas' pass, but the Nigerian forward's attempt was still sideways from the net.
Udinese got another chance, this time through Jaka Bijol's header which still bounced slightly over the Napoli crossbar so that the 1-0 score for the hosts' advantage lasted until halftime.
In the second half, Udinese continued to put pressure on the Napoli defense, one of which was through Walace's shot which was still sideways from the goal.
Napoli had a golden opportunity through Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's shot which Udinese goalkeeper Marco Silvestri could still deny.
Even so, the bouncing ball from Kvaratskhelia's kick was greeted by Osimhen who fired hard into the Udinese goal so that the score changed to 1-1 in the 52nd minute.
Napoli had again broken into the net from Udinese through Osimhen's kick, but the referee did not pass the goal because Elmas had first committed a violation against Nehuern Prererez.
Luciano Spalletti's squad again posed a threat to the Udinese goal, this time through a kick released by Piotr Zielinski, but the ball was blocked by Silvestri. The 1-1 score for both teams lasted until the game was over.
