Fans welcome Napoli home

By Football Italia staff

Around 3,000 Napoli fans greeted the team at the airport at 3am to show their support after a defeat to Juventus.

The Partenopei lost the game 1-0 to a last-gasp deflected Simone Zaza strike and with it the top of the table.

Supporters rushed to the Capodichino airport deep into the night in order to welcome home the players.

It was a campaign organised via social media straight after the match to show their appreciation for the performance.

As Napoli ultras were barred from making the trip to Turin, they saw the squad off at the airport on Friday with fireworks, banners and chants.

The players were welcomed back in similar fashion, regardless of the result.

Although Juventus are now top of the table, the gap is only one point and there are 13 rounds to go.
