On Wednesday, Real Madrid, who had already qualified for the Champions League, defeated Napoli, who were in second place, 4-2, with to goals from Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham.

With goals from Joselu and teenage Nico Paz, the record 14-time European champion won Group C for the fifth time in a row. Napoli’s attempt to advance to the knockout stage prior to the championship round was thwarted by the outcome.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti of Real Madrid stated, “It was a difficult match.” “Yet we emerged victorious and accomplished our objective of leading the group.”

In his first 16 appearances with Madrid, Bellingham has netted 15 goals, including four in his four Champions League encounters with the Spanish team.

Bellingham has taken the world by surprise. This was unanticipated, according to Ancelotti.

Napoli trails Madrid by eight points and leads Braga by three. In the other group game, Braga and Union Berlin tied 1-1 at home. In the last round, Napoli will play Braga in an attempt to guarantee a spot in the round of sixteen.

Giovanni Simeone, the son of Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone, scored the first goal for the visitors nine minutes into the game at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

Two minutes later, Madrid responded as Rodrygo found the top corner for his sixth goal in his last four games with the Spanish team. In the 22nd minute, Bellingham scored his fifth goal in the previous five games for Madrid with a header.
