Napoli are poised to secure their first Serie A title since Argentine superstar Diego Maradona led the Italian team to victory more than 30 years ago. The dream of winning the Scudetto again could become reality on Sunday in the southern city desperate to beat their rich northern rivals.

S.S.C. Napoli are just a few points away from winning the Serie A championship - the most coveted title in Italian football - but, walking around the city, one might think the team had already won. Nearly every neighbourhood is adorned with sky blue and white streamers, flags bearing the faces of Napoli players, special new jerseys, and banners announcing the title yet to come: Campioni d’Italia, Italy’s Champions.
