Former Napoli captain Marek Hamsik says winning the Scudetto is all that matters this season for the club.
Hamsik insists their Champions League elimination shouldn’t take the gloss off Napoli’s title win.
He said, “There is certainly a bit of disappointment, Napoli are stronger than Milan, the standings clearly show it.
“But the Scudetto is worth a lot, it’s something extraordinary that makes you forget everything.”
Napoli are now only weeks away from lifting their first Scudetto in over three decades, with stars like Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia becoming household names across Europe.
He looked back at Napoli’s failed title charge in 2018.
“I think about it, but I moved on. Like everyone. Then what matters is that the happy moments of such a beautiful adventure as the one in Napoli
remain in the mind. So, I put that disappointment aside and in my heart there is only room for the trophies we won.”
The 35-year-old commented on the Scudetto celebrations in the Campania capital.
“I know the passion of the Neapolitans. Last year, here in Trabzon, they organised six parties for the Turkish title they won.
“I think it will be the same in Naples, with hundreds of thousands of people in the streets to pay homage to this extraordinary feat that is unlike anything I have seen in my years.
“I have always imagined this celebration, I will enjoy it from afar.”
