Napoli, 1986-87
NAPOLI, 1986-87
1986-87 was the best season in the whole history of S.S.C.Napoli: Napoli won the first Scudetto of its history! Maradona was back after the victory of the World Cup in Mexico and was the prime-actor of this memorable achievement.
Maradona was a hero for the city of Naples: he was the man who took the team to win its first title! They beat the teams from Northern Italy and for the first time in the history of Italian soccer a Southern team won the Scudetto!
It was a real event in Naples and everywhere in the city there were banners, pictures, flags, whatever you can imagine for a big party!
Diego scored many beautiful goals, such as the one against Sampdoria with a diving header, or the one against AC Milan when he dribbled two defenders scoring from the goal kick line!
Maradona scored 10 times in 29 matches and he was the top goalscorer of Napoli. Andrea Carnevale scored 8 goals.
NAPOLI WON THE TITLE!
