Five goal thriller: Napoli struck first but Real Madrid takes top spot with Jude Bellingham stunner at the Maradona
Napoli scored first but Real Madrid won through a stroke of luck on matchday two of the UEFA Champions League. With the score tied at 2-2, Alex Meret’s own goal sent Los Merengues into outright first place of Group C, a result which keeps Napoli three points adrift in second place.
Despite Madrid’s dominant start, Leo Østigard opened the scoring for the home side with a powerful header in the 17th minute. Eventually, Jude Bellingham took control, first intercepting and assisting for Vini Junior’s finessed bottom-corner equaliser, then executing a brilliant solo goal to send Los Blancos into the break with a 1-2 lead.
