Osimhen Fails To Score As Real Madrid Defeat Napoli 3-2 In UCL

37

Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen did not get on the scoresheet as they lost 3-2 to Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Osimhen started the game against the LaLiga giants in Naples.

But it was Leo Ostigard who gave the Serie A champions the lead.

Jude Bellingham won the ball just outside the Napoli box, before feeding Vinicius Jr for a fine finish from a tight angle.

The England international then put Madrid ahead shortly after with a magnificent effort, weaving through the Napoli defence before curling a shot past Alex Meret.

Napoli levelled things up again after the break, Piotr Zielinski smashing home from the penalty spot after the hosts were awarded a dubious spot-kick for a Nacho handball.

Los Blancos found an edge as the game went on, though, and were good value for their winner as Valverde fired from distance, his 25-yard-effort hitting the bar before bouncing into the net off Meret’s back.

Madrid’s victory ended Napoli’s 13-game unbeaten Champions League streak at home.
