Real Madrid Secures Thrilling Victory Against Napoli

Real Madrid beat Napoli with goals from Bellingham, Rodrygo, Nico, and Joselu. The young Englishman shone again with a goal and an assist, but the hero of the night was Nico Diaz, who scored his first goal with the first team with a long shot.

Jude Bellingham once again showed his quality, but Real Madrid had to resort to an unexpected source to seal a Champions League victory over Napoli. The academy product Nico Diaz scored his first goal for the club in the 84th minute, a speculative shot from outside the area that gave his team the lead, being the key moment in a 4-2 win.

Napoli took the lead early, as Giovanni Simeone pushed the ball into the net after a quick counter-attack. Their lead lasted less than two minutes. Rodrygo, who had scored two goals at the weekend, found the equalizer, cutting onto his right foot and placing a shot in the top right corner. Madrid took the lead shortly after. Bellingham scored his 15th goal of the season with an acrobatic header, returning the ball to the opposite post from the far post. But the visitors did not give up. They leveled the match after the break, and Frank Anguissa volleyed the ball into the corner at the start of the second half.

As the match progressed, Madrid seemed closer to getting the winning goal, creating many chances, most of the game flowing through the influential Bellingham. And they found the decisive goal at the end. It came from Nico, who shook off a defender before releasing a shot from afar.

Alex Meret will feel guilty for not stopping the shot, but it went into the net anyway, marking a historic moment in the career of the young substitute of 19 years. Joselu closed the rout with the fourth – a tap-in at the far post – ensuring a comfortable victory for the hosts.
