A stoppage-time goal from Giacomo Raspadori earned the runaway Italian leader a 1-0 win in the Juventus vs Napoli match on April 23.
Napoli could seal its first Serie A title in more than three decades next weekend.
A stoppage-time goal from Giacomo Raspadori earned the runaway Italian leader a 1-0 win at Juventus on April 23.
“I'm shaking,” Raspadori said. “We wanted it so much and Juve created a lot of problems, but we believed to the very end.”
The victory moved Napoli a whopping 17 points ahead of second-place Lazio, which was beaten 1-0 at home by Torino on Saturday.
If Napoli beats regional rival Salernitana at home next Saturday and Inter Milan prevents Lazio from winning at the San Siro a day later, Napoli will have clinched with six rounds to spare.
“It is a very important goal but we still have games that need to be won,” Raspadori said. “This gives us a big hand. ... (But) we have only one thing in mind: earning three points against Salernitana."
It would be Napoli's first Italian league title since Diego Maradona led the southern club to its only previous league championships in 1987 and 1990.
