An equalizer from Victor Osimhen to lock in a 1-1 draw at Udinese secured Napoli their first Serie A title in 33 years on Thursday, ending a drought that has lasted since Diego Maradona was the star of the southern Italian team.
 
With the draw, Korean center-back Kim Min-jae became the first Korean player ever to win the Scudetto.
