Shock of Group C where Real Madrid hosts Naples at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium in this fifth day of the Champions League this Wednesday evening. From the first minutes of the second act, Zambo Anguissa put the two teams back on level terms after a superb right-footed volley. Follow the match live.
22:43 – Lobotka on the lookout
After a cross into the area from Valverde, Lobotka pushes the ball away.
22:41 – Another missed opportunity!
On a pass to show in all football schools from Dani Carvajal for Jude Bellingham, the Englishman controls with the left before returning with the right foot in stride but Meret pushes away with a tap. The ball returns to the penalty spot to Joselu who heads back but it is not on target. The Spanish striker has lacked efficiency since coming into play.
22:40 – Joselu, him again!
After a festival from Rodrygo on the right wing, the Brazilian crosses at the end of the race and Meret deflects with his hand. At the far post, Joselu takes another bicycle but it passes a few centimeters from the Neapolitan bar.
22:39 – The triple opportunity for Real!
On a corner coming from the right, Federico Valverde recovers the ball at the far post and serves Jude Bellingham who crosses for Rüdiger but the German’s header is stopped on his line by Meret. The ball returns to Joselu and Alaba but the two bicycle attempts are missed.
22:37 – No penalty for Real
On the left side, Rodrygo fixes Politano before subtly serving Ferland Mendy in the area. The left back controls the ball and hooks Giovanni Di Lorenzo before collapsing but François Letexier does not call a penalty.
22:36 – Bellingham furious
After a recovery at the feet of Lobokta in front of the Neapolitan area, Jude Bellingham faked the cross and hooked with the left before finally crossing in front of the goal but Joselu was too far away to resume and the Englishman made him understand.
22:34 – Joselu sanctioned
Pressed and pushed by Juan Jesus upon receiving a pass, Joselu collapsed to the ground and tried to pass the ball but François Letexier whistled for a ground play and gave the ball to Naples.
22:32 – It’s crushed by Valverde
Faced with three Neapolitans in the heart of the game, Federico Valverde pierces the block and arrives at the edge of the penalty area before trying his luck but it is completely crushed by the Uruguayan.
22:30 – It’s refused for Osimhen!
After a good breakthrough from Matteo Politano who got rid of Toni Kroos, the winger serves Victor Osimhen in the area who crosses his shot and scores the third Neapolitan goal. But it was ultimately refused for an offside position.
22:27 – New changes
Piotr Zieliński did not recover from the blow received and the Pole was replaced by Eljif Elmas. On the Madrid side, Carlo Ancelotti decides to bring out Brahim Diaz to bring in Nico Paz.
22:26 – Zielinski on the ground
After a clearance from Antonio Rüdiger, the defender lets his foot drag and touches the knee of Piotr Zielinski who remains on the ground for many minutes. The Pole is well-groomed.
22:25 – What a failure from Joselu!
On a sublime tense cross from Ferland Mendy coming from the left where Meret cannot intervene, the ball escapes everyone before Joselu, surprised, can catch the ball which passes over the bar of the Neapolitan cages.
22:23 – No foul according to the referee
While Lobotka had the ball, the Slovak was brought down by Federico Valverde but François Letexier did not call a foul.
22:22 – Cramps for Brahim
After contact with Kvaratskhelia, Brahim Diaz remains on the ground and holds his calf. The attacking midfielder suffers from cramps.
22:21 – Kvaratskhelia can blame herself
After a superb Neapolitan ball recovery, Giovanni Di Lorenzo and Matteo Politano exchange a one-two before the right-back crosses at the far post. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia controls but it is too long and Rüdiger easily clears the Merengue camp.
22:19 – Joselu close to goal
On the corner, Joselu gets ahead of Alex Meret but doesn’t bring his head down enough and it flies away.
22:18 – First Madrid change
Before a corner obtained for Real Madrid after a clearance from Natan, Joselu replaces Dani Ceballos.
22:17 – Great action for Naples
After a superb call from Osimhen, the Nigerian protects his ball on the right of the Madrid area and serves Politano behind who finds Di Lorenzo. The Neapolitan captain crosses for Kvaratskhelia who cannot regain the header well enough. Andriy Lunin easily takes the ball.
22:16 – The debates become tense
After a nice pass in the interval from Kroos, Dani Carvajal finds himself facing Juan Jesus and the two men heat up after a tackle from the Brazilian.
22:13 – Missing Kvaratskhelia
What a counterattack from Naples! Frank Samba Anguissa engages the ball in three against one. The Cameroonian shifts Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to his left who crosses back but it is too imprecise for Victor Osimhen who was ready to take the ball. It was finally cleared by Federico Valverde.
22:12 – Yellow card for Zielinski
After an involuntary sole on Toni Kroos, Piotr Zielinski receives the first yellow card of the match.
22:09 – What a goal from Zambo Anguissa!
Found by Giovanni Di Lorenzo in the Madrid area on the right, Frank Zambo Anguissa crosses but it is deflected by Dani Ceballos. The ball returns to the feet of the Cameroonian who volleys and shoots Andriy Lunin at point blank range.
22:07 – Osimhen enters, there we go again!
Scorer for Naples this evening, Giovanni Simeone comes out to give way to Victor Osimhen. Real Madrid kick off the second half.
22:06 – Bellingham still present
While the players are back on the pitch, Jude Bellingham is also present. Hit in the ankle, the Englishman remained on the ground for a few seconds at the end of the first period.
22:00 – The good series continues for Rodrygo
In his last seven meetings with Real Madrid, Rodrygo was decisive eleven times (seven goals, four assists). During the first twelve matches of the season, the Brazilian had only been decisive twice (one goal, one assist).
