What to expect and the premises of Real Madrid – Napoli
The upcoming match between Real Madrid and Napoli in the UEFA Champions League is full of expectations and history.
'Los Blancos', under the guidance of Carlo Ancelotti, approach this match with great confidence, having qualification for the direct elimination phase has already been secured and enjoying an impressive nine-match unbeaten run at the iconic Santiago Bernabéu stadium in UCL. The recent 3-0 win against Cádiz, with goals from Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham, both returning to fitness after doubts about their fitness, demonstrates the depth and resilience of the Real Madrid squad.
Napoli, reigning Serie A champions, arrives in Madrid with a clear objective: secure a place in the knockout stage of UCL. Walter Mazzarri's team, after a performance defined as "almost perfect" in the 2-1 victory against Atalanta, must try to win points at the Bernabéu, a field where they have historically found difficulty, losing both previous away games.
The comparison between Mazzarri and Ancelotti promises to be tactically intriguing, with Mazzarri looking to improve his personal best against his compatriot. On the one hand, Real Madrid could rely on Brahim Díaz, who has proven to be decisive in home games. On the other hand, Napoli could look at Eljif Elmas, known for his crucial late goals, as a possible leader in key moments.
With both teams boasting top-level players and a strong competitive spirit, you can expect an exciting match, with Napoli looking to end Real Madrid's winning streak against Italian teams in Europe. The match will also be an opportunity to remember football legend Diego Maradona, whose death anniversary was recently commemorated by Napoli fans.
