Real Madrid won Group C in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night after beating Napoli 4-2 at the Bernabeu.

Giovanni Simeone, son of Atletico manager Diego Simeone, bundled Napoli into a ninth-minute lead but a fine strike by Rodrygo drew Madrid level almost immediately.

Jude Bellingham then headed in from a David Alaba cross to put Madrid 2-1 up in the 22nd minute.

Andre Zambo Anguissa made it 2-2 early in the second half and the score remained that way until the 84th minute when Argentine teenager Nico Paz netted his first goal for Madrid.

Paz then hammered in a low shot from long range that burst through the hands of Napoli keeper Alex Meret.
