Wednesday night in Group C of the UEFA Champions League, Napoli fell short of Real Madrid 4-2 at the Bernabeu, with Victor Osimhen playing for the team.

Before the second half began, Osimhen replaced Giovanni Simeone, and he even had a ball in the net that was called out for offside.

Napoli might yet make it to the round of 16 despite the setback to Madrid.

With seven points, the Serie A champions lead SC Braga, who have four points.

In order to guarantee their spot in the Round of 16, Napoli only needs to secure a point against Braga in their last group match.

In fact, even a defeat might be sufficient, as long as it is only by one clear goal, because they won 2-1 in Portugal back on September 20.

If the two teams therefore finish on an identical head-to-head record, it goes to overall goal difference, where Napoli have the advantage.

Napoli had a good start against Madrid as Simeone opened the scoring in the 9th minute.

But Rodrygo made it 1-1 on 11 minutes before Jude Bellingham added the second on 22 minutes.

Three minutes into the second half Zambo Anguissa drew Napoli level.

However, Paz Martinez and Joselu netted on 84 and 94 minutes to give Madrid the win.

In Group B Arsenal thrashed Lens 6-0 at the Emirates to finish as leaders and a place in the round of 16 with a game to spare.
