NAPLES, Italy: Hundreds of thousands of Napoli fans flooded into the centre of the southern Italian port city on Sunday, expecting their team to beat local rivals Salernitana and secure their first Serie A championship title since 1990.
"We are destined to suffer, but we will win the title and come back stronger than ever," said supporter Cristiano Piccirillo, his face painted in the blue and white colours of Napoli.

"I am very disappointed because I came here specially for this," said Fabio Spampanato, who lives in England."But it is already done. We just have to wait a bit longer."
