The joy over Napoli's fourth Scudetto has overwhelmed not only the Neapolitan city, but also the rest of the world. After Friday's 2-0 success against Cagliari, which rendered useless the identical result with which Inter overcame Como, Antonio Conte's team celebrated its second tricolor title in three years. In New York, hundreds of fans lined the streets of Manhattan at the final whistle, waving blue flags and chanting choruses. The heart of the overseas celebration was the Ribalta restaurant, a historic meeting point for the Neapolitan community during the team's matches. International media also celebrated the triumph. From L'Equipe to the BBC, the news went around the world. Spanish daily Marca headlined, “Maradona would be proud: Conte's Napoli wins fourth Scudetto in its history”.
