Ancelotti’s team visits Napoli at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium on Tuesday; The recent record against Italians is very favorable.
Real Madrid visits the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium this Tuesday for the second day of the Champions League group stage.
Napoli will be their rival, but even the last Italian champions cannot intimidate the Concha Espina team. In recent years, Madrid doesn’t care: when they face a club from Serie A, they celebrate. To win or not to win.
Last season, Ancelotti’s team were eliminated in the semi-finals by Manchester City, the eventual winners of the competition. The team had a favorable draw and had to face Napoli, SC Braga of Portugal and Unión Berlin in Group C. Germany.
The debut cost Madrid more than necessary, with Jude Bellingham having to come to the rescue at the buzzer to beat the Germans at the Santiago Bernabéu. Now it’s time to visit the Serie A champions, with the southern Italian side expected to battle it out with the Spaniards for top spot in Group C.
However, the latest history of Real Madrid against clubs from the transalpine country invites us to believe that the Spaniards will win in the end.
Does anyone remember the last time Madrid faced an Italian and didn’t celebrate? Probably not, because it happened a long time ago.
