Napoli fans will have to wait another day to celebrate their third Serie A title after Wednesday’s results, as second-placed Lazio beat Sassuolo 2-0.
Luciano Spalletti’s team needs one point against Udinese on Thursday to secure the title. If the Azzurri draw or win against Udinese, they will finally land their first Scudetto in 33 years. A loss means they have to wait until Sunday when they face Fiorentina at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona to qualify.
Coverage on Thursday begins at 1PM ET with a special edition of Box 2 Box, followed by the Calcio e Cappuccino pre-match show at 2PM ET on CBS Sports Golazo Network, which will air the match alongside Paramount+ at 2:45PM ET.
