No team south of Milan or Turin has won the Italian league since Roma claimed the title in 2001.
Napoli can clinch its first Serie A title in more than three decades - since Maradona led the southern club to the 1987 and 1990 championships - if it wins or draws at Udinese.
Napoli missed out on a chance to clinch the title when it was held to a 1-1 draw by Salernitana on Sunday and then watched as second-place Lazio beat Sassuolo 2-0 on Wednesday to again delay the celebration. Still, Napoli holds a 15-point lead over Lazio with six matches to play and it’s seemingly only a matter of time before the title becomes official for the Partenopei.

Germany, Italy clamp down on Italian mob with raids, arrestsPolice across Europe have arrested dozens of people, raided homes and seized 25 million euros in assets in a joint effort to crack down on Italy’s ’ndrangheta organized crime syndicate. In Italy, Carabinieri police backed by police helicopters served arrest warrants on 108 people for suspected trafficking of drugs and weapons; money laundering; and other crimes. The operation aimed to dismantle a network that reportedly moves tons of cocaine to Europe and Australia each year. Authorities say the investigation uncovered how the n’drangheta, Colombian drug producers and paramilitary groups used ports in South America to ship Colombian drugs to Europe. Italian officials say drug proceeds were laundered through restaurants, ice cream shops and car washes.
