Coppa Italia: Maradona effect, Napoli crashes Roma and flies to the final

Diego Armando Maradona was also there at San Paolo to celebrate the Azzurri's triumph, in what was his temple for 7 years but where it hadn't been since 9 June 2005, the day Ciro Ferrara said his farewell to football. He just came back almost 9 years later, in an endless jubilation.

A perfect evening therefore for the Napoli fans, who in addition to acclaiming their idol, saw Benitez's team overturn the result of the first leg semi-final and overcome Roma 3-0, thus winning the Italian Cup final for the second once in three years, two years after winning it against Juventus. Goals by Callejon, Higuain and Jorginho.
