Victor Osimhen’s hopes for a memorable night at the iconic Santiago Bernabeu were dashed on Wednesday as he and his Napoli teammates were humbled 4-2 by Real Madrid.
Though Walter Mazzarri’s Napoli fought valiantly, Real Madrid proved to be a step ahead of Partenopei with the comeback victory that has seen them extend their perfect run in this season’s Champions League with five wins in five games played.
Despite an early lead, courtesy of Giovanni Simeone, Napoli were unable to withstand Real Madrid’s firepower, succumbing to goals from Rodrygo, Federico Valverde, and Nicolas Paz. Joselu added a fourth in stoppage time, sealing Napoli’s fate.
