Scott McTominay and Napoli continue title celebrations with Pope Leo meeting
Italian champions visit Vatican and meet with pontiff
Pope denies being a Roma supporter during audience
Pope Leo XIV welcomed Italy’s newly crowned Serie A champions Napoli to the Vatican on Tuesday, joking about his own football allegiances.
Napoli won their fourth Scudetto on Friday with a 2-0 home victory over Cagliari, edging out Inter by one point in a nail-biting end to the season. The team, captained by the Italy international Giovanni Di Lorenzo and including player of the season Scott McTominay, arrived for their papal audience a day after a triumphant open-top bus parade through central Naples.
