This Sunday afternoon, at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, Maurizio Sarri’s Napoli easily imposed against Salernitana (4-1), red lantern of the championship. The Neapolitans were second ahead of AC Milan’s game against Juventus a few hours later. This Serie A match was an opportunity for Patenopei captain Lorenzo Insigne to equal a football and club legend, El Pibe de Oro, Diego Maradona.
Indeed, the 2020 European champion with Italy was only a goal behind the Argentinian under the tunic of SSC Napoli. In the 53rd minute of the match, he took charge of converting a penalty, which raised him to the same level as one of the best players in history. It’s a great consecration for this child of Naples, idol of a club for which he played 417 games, and therefore scored 115 goals. The Italian will leave his heart club to join MLS at the end of the season.
