Real Madrid faces Naples this Wednesday on the fifth day of the group stage of the Champions League. The whites go into the duel with the peace of mind of having secured their place in the round of 16. Only six teams have achieved it: Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Leipzig, Manchester City, Real Madrid and Real Sociedad.
Carlo Ancelotti's team is close to first place in Group C. Right now, they have 12 points, five above the Italian team. The white team will secure the lead if they get the three points, although a draw at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium would also be worth it.
For the duel against Naples, the coach will not be able to count on Thibaut Courtois, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Eder Militao, Tchouaméni, Camavinga, Arda Güler and Vinícius Junior. And Brahim Díaz is a doubt.
Real Madrid faces the game with optimism. The whites have not lost in their last five games against Napoli, with a record of four wins and one draw. Furthermore, the Italian team has never won on its visit to the Santiago Bernabéu.
The transalpine team is not going through its best moment either. He comes from dismissing the Frenchman Rudi García after the poor results at this start of the campaign. His replacement, the Italian Walter Mazzarri, who already coached Naples between 2009 and 2013, has only been leading the team for a week.
The match between Real Madrid and Naples, corresponding to the fifth day of the Champions League, will be played this Wednesday, November 29, at 9:00 p.m. at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium. The meeting can be seen on television on Movistar and can also be followed live through the La Vanguardia website.
