Napoli’s tribute to Di Lorenzo and Maradona
The Scudetto victory was a particularly special occasion for Italy international Giovanni Di Lorenzo, who has now won two Serie A titles as captain of Napoli, the same tally as the late, great Maradona.
Maradona won two titles in four years with victories in 1986-87 and 1989-90, while Di Lorenzo has gone one better by winning two titles across three seasons in 2022-23 and 2024-25.
They are the only two players to captain Napoli to a league title in the club’s history.
“Captains and Champions,” Napoli wrote on Instagram along with a picture of their two Scudetto-winning leaders.
